In this paper, we propose a new learning process (or experience) model, which is called SCO Control Net, to be possibly applicable to the SCORM content aggregation model for e-Learning management systems. In terms of the representation of the learning process model, the current SCORM content aggregation model supports a rule-based model for defining a set of rules that describe the intended sequence and ordering of learning activities in a tree-structured content organization. On the other hand, the SCO Control Net aims to support a process-based model for explicitly defining the rules. That is, it is intended to realize the concept of process-driven content organization by separating the learning process from the SCORM's content organization. We would call that the former is content-driven aggregation model, and the later is process-driven aggregation model. This paper formalizes a theoretical basis of the process-driven aggregation model by representing the sequence of learning activities through the SCO control net. We strongly believe that the process-driven aggregation model delivers a way of much more convenient content aggregating work and system, in terms of not only defining the intended sequence and ordering of learning activities, but also building the runtime environment for sequencing and navigation of learning activities and experiences.
