An e-Learning Systems Engineering Methodology - Gilbert, L., Wang, C. and Sim, Y. W. , Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies
A methodology for e-learning systems engineering is offered for use in the development of e-learning materials. The methodology draws upon the practices of software engineering to identify the key stages and steps required for the development of effective e-learning materials. A technical team assembled for the task of developing an e-learning system is usually professionally familiar with the principles of software engineering but may not be sure of how to go about the particular tasks associated with the development of e-learning materials and systems. The principles of software engineering may be readily applied to the development of e-learning rather than software, and this paper provides a “translation” of a version of the conventional “waterfall” model [1]. A good development methodology helps a technical team develop pedagogically as well as technically sound units of learning. Conversely, the lack of a good methodology causes schedule slippage, budget over-run, or outright failure to meet learner, sponsor, and stakeholder needs.
