Towards a visual Educational Modeling Language for effective learning
Asmaâ Retbi, Farid Merrouch, Mohammed Khalidi Idrissi, Samir Bennani · 2012
Educational Modeling Languages (EMLs) are design languages intended to teachers for modeling any educational unit, independently of the pedagogical approach, context, users or resources employed. However, most existing educational modeling languages are criticized for being too abstract and too complex to be understood and manipulated by teachers. In this paper, we present a visual EML that simplifies the process of authoring learning scenarios for teachers with no programming background. Based on the conceptual framework of the activity theory, our resulting visual EML uses an explicit flow representation to design adaptive sequencing within learning activities, especially for effective learning purposes.
