Abstract

The topic of Learning Objects (LOs) is a central theme in eLearning research. Because of a variety of aspects that relates to LOs, their complexity and development issues is a great challenge. This requires adequate means for specifying and representing of LOs at a higher abstraction level. The introduction of UML into eLearning was not very successful because of the inherent UML’s orientation towards a very specific technological paradigm with specialized concepts such as "concurrency" or "polymorphism". As OWL has the other intention, we propose to use Feature Diagrams (FDs) in eLearning for specification and representation of a learning content. The motivation is a close relationship of FDs to domain ontologies that are treated as a perspective instrument for eLearning. The paper presents the background of FDs, some extensions of FDs related to eLearning, and the extended motivation of benefits and limitations of the use of FDs in eLearning. All these are supported by Case studies.
