Educational Modeling Languages (EMLs) are notations that allow instructors to describe teaching and learning interactions and activities in a formal way. This description of a specific teaching process is called a Unit of Learning (UoL). The main advantage of UoLs described using EMLs is that they can be automatically orchestrated using an interpreter that coordinates all the activities defined in the UoL. The advantages of this approach in terms of scalability and interoperability are great but, in practice, its application is being hindered by different problems such as the technical skills required to use these languages and the difficulty of understanding preexisting UoLs. In order to allow the widespread adoption of EMLs, it is necessary to reduce steep learning curves that prevent instructors from using them. In this work we present the graphical notation used in the e-LD approach, a methodology which promotes the adoption of EMLs simplifying the authoring process of new and preexisting UoLs. |
