Learning Process Models as Mediators Between Didactical Practice
and Web Support
Conceptual Modeling � ER 2005, (2005)Abstract
Within the last decade the introduction of technology- enhanced learning
(�e-learning�) has become a focal strategy in several universities
and organizations. While much research has been devoted to producing
e-content, describing it with metadata, and to constructing e-learning
platforms, relatively little attention has been paid to using patterns
and conceptual modeling techniques as a means of knowledge development
and communication serving to improve the learning process in terms
of depth, scope, and effective tool support. Our research is targeted
at filling this gap by considering conceptual models of learning
processes as mediators between rich didactic elements and Web service
modules that closely match students� and instructors� demands on
effective support. In this paper we illustrate our pattern-based
research framework by giving an example, discussing the driving role
and merits of conceptual modeling, providing an overview of our pattern
knowledge base, and sharing our vision for future development. ER
