Abstract

While the majority of e-learning standards focus on content to be described, the IMS Learning Design (IMS LD) specification represents the exception as it places the learning activity rather than the content in its focal point. Problematic is that the wide adoption of the IMS LD specification is hindered by its highly technical language. In this article, the modeling software Graphical Learning Modeler (GLM) is introduced that aids instructional designers and teaching practitioners in building standardized units of learning for online learning and teaching. The software closes the gap of practitioner language and technical language by translating the designed learning activity sequences from a graphical interface to an IMS LD conformant eXtensible Markup Language (XML) file that may be interpreted by various learning management systems.
