Abstract

Byline: Victor Pankratius, Gottfried Vossen In electronic learning, keeping learning material up-to-date is a recurring problem. In the past, this has mostly been done manually, with a frequent consequence that material becomes outdated since manual updates are neither systematic nor applied often enough. In this paper, we take a software engineering perspective on the problem of updating learning material for electronic platforms, and show how reengineering can help in this context. Specifically, we present a reference model for an e-learning reengineering process, and cast this model into the architecture of a component and configuration management system. Finally, we indicate how the approach can be exploited by showing an example, and outlining a global reuse strategy for educational material using software product lines.

Subjects

Abstract

Byline: Tomaz Amon The electronic textbook, together with the virtual reality worlds on the web, presents a better tool for education than the paper textbook alone; the paper textbook can be included as a pdf file. The interactivity, ease of transport, duplication and adaptation make such material very practical. A cell-tissue-body CD ROM, which is a dynamic hypertext mark-up language (HTML) and virtual reality mark-up language (VRML) website, was produced to teach biology in primary and secondary schools in Slovenia. Because this project is supported by the Ministry of Education, it is free to obtain and is recognised as one of the official textbooks in Slovene schools. This e-book is slowly being implemented into the everyday teaching process. This paper will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of e-books, and also the difficulties of implementing them in our schools. Finally, thoughts on how to overcome the obstacles to future updates of this and other projects will be discussed.
