  • Recompiling learning processes from event logs

    Citation Excerpt :

    In summary, although these approaches try to hide the complexity of IMS LD by using a more user-friendly notation, they share the same drawback: real users – teachers and instructors – do not have the technical skills needed for a practical use of these tools, as they still require to know about IMS LD to use the advanced features of this standard. In fact, this drawback works as a barrier for the practical use of IMS LD, as teachers are forced to transform their educational scenario into machine-oriented notation [32]. The automatic reconstruction of UoLs is a novel approach to hide the complexity of the authoring process of IMS LD.

  • A model-driven development approach for learning design using the LPCEL Editor

    2014, Journal of King Saud University - Computer and Information Sciences
    Citation Excerpt :

    The tool must be based on an expressive language, such as the LPCEL. The authoring process of a Virtual Learning Experience (VLE) can be done using visual instructional design languages (Caeiro Rodríguez et al., 2010). The LPCEL Editor not only provides visual components for the authoring process, but it also incorporates other elements that support the authoring of VLEs.
