Abstract

In this paper we propose a construction kit approach that could be used as an abstract model to implement modular defined e-learning systems. The metaphor "construction kit" results from the math-kit project, that provides students and lecturers with multimedia support for central topics in undergraduate mathematics. The lecturers can combine different learning units into individual courses as easily as bricks of a construction kit can be used to build a model. Thus, a learning unit which is developed by one author could be used by a number of other authors as well. Furthermore, learning objects must be defined independent of style and format, because the definition of design and style makes it impossible to integrate them into different courses. Therefore, we are using XML as the description language to define learning content in a structural manner. Our modular concept is based on the "Sharable Content Object Reference Model" (SCORM).
