Reengineering of Educational Content: an Experience in the Computer Networks Domain

The growing demand for high-quality educational products, capable of better engaging learners and instructors in an active learning process, has pointed out the need for more efficient and productive learning development mechanisms. The IMA¿¿CID approach address such concerns, defining an integrated approach for modeling educational content. By means of a set of models, IMA¿¿CID helps the content developers to determine the relevant parts of the knowledge domain, providing a systematic way to structure the concepts and related information. In this paper we summarize the key characteristics of IMA¿¿CID, and define guidelines for its application, illustrating them in the reengineering of an educational content in the Computer Networks domain.
