Abstract

The development of complex educational software such as learning environments, simulations and intelligent tutoring systems requires a rational approach that looks like those that software engineers call for.

We propose a methodology which allows a real cooperation between the two classes of users concerned about software educational engineering: the pedagogues and the software engineers. This methodology is based on a few straightforward principles such as prototyping, structuring the process of developing software into stages, and the availability of a formal language which allows a communication between the classes of users. It can be used to implement any educational software, from their requirements to their use.
