Abstract

The aim of this paper is to describe our work towards the definition of adaptive learning designs using learning technology specifications. To accomplish this goal, first, we introduce learning technology standards and specifications, and their purposes. Then, we present a set of the most representative learning technology specifications for describing the learning experience, namely EML, IMS LD, SCORM, as well as the IEEE LOM Standard, and show differences and similarities between them. Afterwards, we describe our ongoing research to define learning designs with adaptive characteristics and the authoring tool we are developing to define those learning designs. Finally, we outline conclusions and future work.
