Abstract

Purpose of this paper is to introduce a recently developed e-learning design and development tool called Learning DesignerTM(version 1.0). Learning DesignerTM assists instructional designers and developers build an e-learning courseware by generating SCORM learning objects. Learning DesignerTM defines learning more than providing contents or information. Learning is rather a constructing process of learning activities combined with learning contents. Therefore, learning objects here are defined as the sequenced combination of content objects and learning activity objects. After six months of close investigation of e-learning design and development process, explicit and standardized design and development process was identified and the support system was developed. Learning DesignerTM has four distinguished features. First is content object generating feature. It assists step -by-step decision-making process for content design and development with recommended templates for different content types. Second is learning objects generator sequencing content and learning activity objects with the support of the recommended learning models. Third is guided metadata generator. Last feature is automatic manifest file generator. Effectiveness and efficiency of the tool is still on testing stage through usability tests both in quantitative and qualitative manner.
