Title:   A web-based courseware development methodology for open learning
         systems.

Speaker: Dr Simos Retalis, Department of Electrical and Computer
         Engineering, Software Engineering Laboratory, National Technical
         University of Athens

Venue:   Room 5326, JCMB, King's Buildings, University of Edinburgh

Abstract
--------
We are now witnessing the introduction of the new technologies
of computer networks and hypermedia systems, especially the
Internet and the World Wide Web, in instruction. This is
happening because these technologies have capabilities that
enhance the usability of the instructional systems that employ
them. The attempt of introducing the new technologies in
instruction seems well founded. This affects the way we build
instructional systems of today. Instructional developers should
follow effective and quality driven development methodologies;
methodologies that are specifically developed to support the
development of network based instructional systems.

The subject of this presentation is a methodology, called
CADMOS, which accords to the principles of the third and
partially the fourth generation of instructional system
development methodologies and follows engineering practices.
CADMOS is a methodology that embraces the whole instructional
system development process focusing on the web-based courseware
development. CADMOS' philosophy advocates on splitting an
instructional system into four sub-systems: human, webware, other
learning resources and specific infrastructure sub-systems.

Following the engineering principles, CADMOS is a collection
of four types of components: development process models, methods,
standards, and tools. The emphasis in this presentation will be
given on the web-based courseware design method and the
evaluation method. The design method follows the object oriented
principles and uses the UML notation. A CASE tool, called CRITON
has been developed for its support. The summative evaluation
method is a pre-test/post-test method incorporating some
aspects of the illuminative evaluation approach. The focus of the
evaluation is on the learning effectiveness of the instructional
system. The learning effectiveness was conceptualized as being
related to a multiple measurement index consisting of cognitive
and attitudinal outcomes.

The presentation will conclude with comments on the use of the
methodology in practice and future research issues.
