Content Management Systems nowadays are used to manage complex publications far more often than some years ago. The basic principles are the separation of structure, content and presentation, an exactly defined workflow management and the management of content in the form of small units, so called assets. This leads to improved quality, better reusability and reduced costs.This paper focuses on similarities of CMS-Systems and eLearning systems and the possibility to transfer gained experiences from the field of CMS to eLearning systems. This leads to a set of demands that can be made on eLearning systems. The paper concludes with the thesis that transferring the principles of content management systems to the world of eLearning will result in better systems with the improved functionality we already know from current CMS.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
