Abstract

With the evolution of technology, and especially of the Internet, a growing interest has appeared for on-line education. The many advantages of e-Learning have made this teaching philosophy an ideal partner for teachers, either as a complement to regular education or as a substitute for traditional education. The development of an e-Learning system poses extra challenges for software developers, since there are other facets, such as contents and user tracking, not usually considered in software development methodologies. In this paper eLearniXML approach to the development of e-Learning systems is presented. This approach enriches the development of e-Learning systems method proposed in ADDIE with the model-based development of user interfaces and software quality consideration. By doing so, we aim at the development of, what we have named, a Model-Based Instructional Development Environment (MB-ISDE), to include e-Learning development in the current trends of model-based software development.
