Pedagogical Scenario Modelling, Deployment, Execution and Evolution

Abstract

The rise of the pedagogical scenario approach supported by the standardisation of IMS Learning Design is changing the focus from the pedagogical objects to the activities that support learning. With the standardisation, comes the promise of the reuse of successful designs for the pedagogical scenarios. However, the uptake of this approach relies on a sound support of the users both at the design phase and at the execution phase and the level to which successful design can be adapted for reuse in both phases. This chapter covers the whole lifecycle of pedagogical scenarios and shows the current level of support one can find in existing Learning Management Systems and tools. It presents also the way to enhance this support through the use of Model Driven Engineering for the design and deployment phase and
