Summary
The Educational Modeling Languages (EMLs) allows instructors to describe and formalize the learning processes by a document called learning design. These learning designs deal both with the educational contents and also with the complementary activities needed to achieve an effective use of the educational contents and foster the learning process. The learning designs formalized with an EML have the advantage that can be automatically processed by a software tool. This automatic processing of a learning design allows for the automation of the virtual learning environment configuration to support the teaching process and for the execution of the activities represented in the learning design. This explicit representation of the teaching process has additional advantages, such as these learning designs can be reused by other instructors just as an example of good practices or as an starting point to create their particular learning design specifically adapted for their learners’ needs.
