Proposal of an assistant for the automation of the design and creation process of learning objects

Abstract

Learning Objects (LOs) are digital educational materials that enable the teaching and learning process to be mediated. Howev-er, their design and creation often exceeds the possibilities that a teacher has for their production. Teachers are experienced users in the educational field and have little or no experience in pro-gramming tools, so it is expected that the production of an OA can be scalable. The aim of this paper is to present an intermedi-Ate software solution that supports the systematic application and documentation of the phases proposed in the DICREVOA meth-odology for the design, analysis and implementation of OA. For this a case study with the proposed graphic editors is presented. As a result, this wizard for the automation of the design and creation process of OA will allow teachers to exploit and improve the productivity, reliability, maintainability and portability of this type of educational resource from their experience in the domain of the educational context. © 2018 IEEE.
