Engineering modular web-based education systems to support EML units of learning

摘要

Educational Modeling Languages (EMLs) have been proposed to support the modeling of units of learning enabling the description of different pedagogical approaches. Eventually, such models are intended to support the operation of appropriate computer systems, controlling and managing the corresponding units of learning. This paper considers EMLs involving a set of independent perspectives. Our purpose is to use this set of perspectives to facilitate the development of Web-based education systems that are able to support the execution of EML models. As a result, we obtain a modular architecture where different pedagogical approaches can be supported.
