Abstract

This paper proposes a course blueprint construction model, by using XML-based plan that represents knowledge of ordering rule of learning objects composition. Hierarchical structure is used as the structure for the composition of learning objects in each composite level. Based on Goldsmith's closeness index, we implement the ordering algorithm to find the integration of different course orders. There are four objectives in this work. First, to propose the procedure of analysis the course blueprint design. Second, to presents the two ways of ordering method; front set method and rear set method, which are used to evaluate and establish course object order. Third, to illustrate the method of integrated various orders from different designs. Finally, to present the model for course blueprint construction with component-based development concept based on model-view-controller (MVC) architecture and supported technologies. This approach reduces cost and times for constructing course instances from efficiency blueprint and also solves the different ordering problems among instructors.
