The impact of new technologies in education has brought to the perception that educational Web sites have a more or less standard features in several contexts. Yet, an analysis of the existing literature reveals that the practices of Instructional Design and Hypermedia Design have few if any contact points. We claim that an integration of the two processes – namely learning activities design...

E2ML : Educational Environment Modeling Language

Botturi, Luca ; Colombetti, Marco (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2003 ; 2003COM001.

This study moves from the consideration of the communication dynamics within the instructional design practice. With the introduction of electronic media, the design of educational environments in Higher Education has ceased to be a craftsmanship activity, and has acquired some features proper of mass production. This makes communication a more and more critical issue in design. The original goal...

E2ML : Educational Environment Modeling Language

Botturi, Luca

In: Proceedings of EDMEDIA 2003, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, 2003, vol. 1, p. 304

E2ML is a modeling language spe cifically developed for the design of educational environments. It models the goals, requirement and design of the teaching and learning activity. Its core parts are a verbal statement and visual mapping of goals and a visual UML-like representation of the learning activity. E2ML can be profitably integrated with Instructional Design models in order to enhance the...

Pedagogical patterns for online learning

Botturi, Luca ; Belfer, Karen

In: Proceedings of EREARN 2003, Phoenix, Azizona, USA, 2003, vol. 1, p. 881

This paper describes the use of a new representation language E2ML to denote pedagogical patterns. With E2ML you can create visual illustrations to communicate of sound pedagogical applications of technology. The language is so intuitive that it provides the means to construct templates, and the possibility to be translated into XML and then use in a compliant platform.

Visual languages for instructional design : an evaluation of the perception of E2ML

Botturi, Luca

In: Proceedings of EDMEDIA 2004, Lugano, Switzerland, 2004, vol. 1, p. 243

In the last years, Instructional Design has seen the development of visual models for supporting and enhancing the design process. A part of them concern the definition of learning goals, while others address the definition of learning activities or learning materials. These tools supposedly reduce the cognitive load and enhance design communication. Few contributions try to assess the impact...
