Structured development of content

• Development based on instructional strategy

• Use of templates / patterns for instructional strategy

• Selection of criteria for templates

• Prestructuring / Use of Patterns / Modeling

Aggregation Levels for templates1. the smallest level of aggregation, e.g., raw

media data or fragments. 2. a collection of level 1 learning objects,e.g., a

lesson. 3. a collection of level 2 learning objects, e.g.,

a course.4. the largest level of granularity,e.g., a set of

courses that lead to a certificate. 1. Level 4 objects can contain level 3 objects, or

can recursively contain other level 4 objects.
