• Resumen

  • This paper proposes a software engineering framework that aims to assist instructors in expressing their courses’requirements. The framework allows an instructor to elicit his know-what and know-how knowledge in teaching acourse through a set of learning activities that are the building blocks of e-courses. The instructor’s expertise is elicitedthrough a graphical user interface that provides the necessary tools for producing a course description which is thenconverted automatically into a course specification allowing software engineers and programmers to implement it as ane-course. We anticipate that this framework would be very helpful for instructors to express their course requirements in asystematic and convenient way. In this paper we present the framework and show by means of a case study related to asystems analysis and design course, how this framework is used to produce the e-course specifications from the instructorrequirements.
