Hierachy-based methodology for producing educational contents with maximal reutilization (original) (raw)

Assessment and reuse of contents in the competence-based educational platform InterMediActor

WSEAS Transactions on Computers. 2004; 1 (3): 115-121, 2004

This paper describes a failure alert system and a methodology for content reuse in a new instructional design system called InterMediActor (IMA). IMA provides an environment for instructional content design, production and reuse, and for students' evaluation based in content specification through a hierarchical structure of competences. The student assessment process and information extraction process for content reuse are explained.

InterMediActor: an Environment for Instructional Content Design Based on Competences

This paper describes the basic architecture and functional principles of a new instructional design system called InterMediActor (IMA) and reports about its implementation state. IMA provides an environment for instructional content design, production and reuse and for student evaluation that is based on the decomposition of the learning objectives in a hierarchical structure of competences. The process of content production and learning in competence-based systems is described and the main advantages and differences in relation to other proposals, like SCORM and EML, are discussed.
