Abstract

In this paper a conceptual model for e-learning, which uses elements from learning Objects and Concepts Maps, is introduced. The learning material is divided into atomic units and organized in graphs called Knowledge Map, Learning Map and Student Map. Such a structure provides an easy-to-use navigation interface for existing learning material. Any course content created is stored in a repository for future reference. The model is used to structure a course in geometry for post-graduate teacher students. In teacher education one has to account for the ability to transfer knowledge to students, in addition to the assimilation of knowledge. The established model is therefore discussed in a learning or didactical context.
