E-learning is still in its infancy. This can be seen both in the
limited pedagogical quality and lack of portability of e-learning
content, and in the lack of user-friendly tools to exploit the
opportunities offered by current technologies. To be successful,
e-learning must offer effective and attractive courses and
programmes to learners, while at the same time providing a pleasant
and effective work environment for staff members who have the task
to develop course materials, plan the learning processes, provide
tutoring, and assess performance.
To overcome these deficiencies, the IMS Global Learning
Consortium Inc. released the Learning Design Specification in 2003.
With Learning Design it is possible to develop and present
advanced, interoperable e-learning courses embracing educational
role and game playing methods, problem-based learning, learning
community approaches, adaptivity and peer coaching and assessment
methods.
In this handbook Koper and Tattersall have put together
contributions from members of the "Valkenburg Group," consisting of
33 experts deeply involved in e-learning and more specifically
learning design. The result is a rich and lasting source of
information for both e-learning course and tool developers,
providing information about the specification itself, how to
implement it in practice, what tools to use, and what pitfalls to
avoid. The book not only reports first experiences, but also goes
beyond the current state of the art by looking at future prospects
and emerging applications.
