Abstract

Interactive videos are becoming common as e-Learning tools, applied to different knowledge areas and for different teaching objectives. Active research concerns the definition of methodologies and authoring tools for teachers and instructional designers for the creation of interactive videos, as well as studies on how to evaluate their effectiveness in distance learning. In the context of the ELEVATE project, we are developing a tool suite that offers a novel environment for authoring and management, including a virtual reality component for video production. This suite is expected to be mainly adopted within blended online courses for professional (adult) training on emergency management procedures. This paper presents the architecture of the ELEVATE Tool Suite and gives an overview of how it can be used, pointing out the role of different stakeholders.
