A Reference Implementation of a Learning Design Engine

Martens, H. & Vogten, H. (2005). A Reference Implementation of a Learning Design Engine. In: Koper, R. & Tattersall, C., Learning Design: A Handbook on Modelling and Delivering Networked Education and Training (pp. 91-108). Berlin-Heidelberg: Springer Verlag.From the moment the Learning Design specification (LD 2003) was published there has been a need for software capable of processing LD-compliant content. LD is a powerful and complex specification, and it is not a trivial matter to implement an LD player. In response to this need, the Educational Technology Expertise Centre of the Open University of the Netherlands launched an initiative to develop a reusable kernel dealing with the intricacies of processing LD. Since this kernel should be able to be used in different settings, it is not a standalone product but needs to be integrated in a learning management system
