Specification of Learning Management System-centered Graphical Instructional Design Languages - A DSM Experimentation about the Moodle Platform

Abstract

This paper presents a 6-month explorative research work about the specification of specific instructional design languages. These languages have to tackle a double objective: capturing teachers-designers’ needs and practices and guarantee a model in conformance with an existent Learning Management System. Domain Specific Modeling techniques are used to both specify these languages and to provide practitioners with some graphical authoring-tools. This explorative research work has been conducted in relation with a pedagogical engineering team, specialized in Moodle, from Le Mans University. Three different DSM approaches have been experimented and analyzed. This research is part of the French ANR GraphiT Project.
