Abstract

The development of educational modules – concise units of study, composed by theoretical and practical content which can be delivered to learners by using technological resources – has been extensively explored in the context of Teaching and Learning. In this paper we present and discuss supporting mechanisms for developing educational modules, emphasizing aspects of modeling and generating content. We present AIM−CID – an integrated approach for modeling educational content which considers different didactic perspectives. We also propose a collaborative tool that supports modeling and generating content based on the AIM−CID.
