3. Instructional modeling
Process of producing instructional models (IM)
IM can be teaching method, assessment method,
www.telmap.org
conrete teaching and assessment units.
Involves different artifacts and tools
openglm.sf.net
Many available standards and specs for
www.icoper.org
different artifacts, e.g. SCORM or IMS LD
www.galanoe.eu for activities, IMS QTI for assessments,
IMS CP for content packaging, LOM or
DC for metadata, IEEE RCD for outcome

4. Objective: Standards-based Sharing
Formal abstract descriptions of teaching and/or
learning situations – interoperability and reuse!
Many tools that implement a standard modeling

language (Reload, ReCourse, MOT+, ASK-LDT, etc)
openglm.sf.net
Many tools enable integrated commnuity features
(eg CompendiumLD, LAMS etc)
www.icoper.org
The intersection is very small

Findings:
– Work integration: real-life relevance? portfolios,
openglm.sf.net
workload calculation
– Training: help required staff training
www.icoper.org
– Terminology: sometimes confusing adapt to institution
www.galanoe.eu – Content quality: unsure, lack of info quality controlled
repositories
– Sharing & development: well received discourse on
