“…Further research will be focused on deeper aspects of context-aware content generation. The DaMiT system is to be enhanced by means of implementing bottom-up content generation (Caumanns, 2000). Details ofthe actual top-down approach are accessible to the public at the URL http: //neumann.dfki.uni-sb.de/damit. …”

“…The set of scenarios necessary to be supported looks graphically similar to a complete graph. It is possible in such cases to use any menu point and to jump to any other dialogue step (Caumanns, 2000). The usage of a proven scenario theory for the application development is a basic assumption to realize full flexibility.…”

“…It is being realized in our prototype by means of parameterised views and mappings of usercontext-dependent generation rules. The currently implemented generation method is conform to the top-down approaches, further development of the system will comprise an implementation of the bottom-up approach (Caumanns, 2000). Semantic Content Evolving: the content structure is enriched by new subgraphs built on the basis of common learning objects.…”

Abstract:The increasing attention paid to the importance of context-awareness of content has contributed to more useable e-Iearning websites. While existing approaches mostly cover static learner characteristics, to date it has been difficult to cover the dynamics of context. E-Iearning content must be delivered in the right doses, at the right moment, and in an appropriate form.Our work presents a storyboarding-based approach for specifying contentintensive websites. E-Iearning sites can be validated with regard to learner context. The practicability of our method is shown upon the e-Iearning project DaMiT. The SiteLang methodology helps overcome the limitations of existing approaches based on pre-dermed, structuring of content. It allows a flexible content generation upon learner context, depending on the dynamics of the learning process.Keywords: Database, Learner Centred Learning, Learning Systems, Modelling INTRODUCTIONMany scientific papers and working group specifications have identified the fundamental insight that a high level of granularity of learning units leads to better user-adaptive systems. One guideline for implementing this is to deal with many different types of units from the same topic. Learners just want the most appropriate content delivered just in time and to the right place and device. They should not be confronted with unnecessary content. Therefore, some services are needed to fulfil the learner's needs. Information logistics can provide acceptable strategies that satisfy the requirements for the delivery of the correct unit of information. The goals of information logistics are readily adapted to the e-cha1lenges of e-Learning. Information logisticsInformation logistics aims to provide optimised information-to serve textually correct and needed information at the right time and place-to users (Lienemann, 2001). The information should always be adapted to the user's preferences and communication facilities. Lienemann explains some principles in information logistics, which are relevant to e-Learning.Several information sources: The user looks for additional or extended information in distributed, correlated content bases. At the moment we restrict this to one database of one domain. Information on the tick: Information at the right time depends on the value of the information and the user's context. The value depends on the deliverable content in the knowledge bases. High value demands a detailed description of the content. Users of an e-Learning system may interact with the system in different roles with special characteristics. This is the primary context for the user. The system has to choose, on demand, what the preferred content for the user at any given moment. Consideration of user preferences:Applications of information logistics must be able to satisfy the individual needs of the users. User needs must be specified for optimal operation and implemented in an explicit and an implicit way. Explicit data, like the preferred presentation style or difficulty, must be treated as g...

On the one band, the rapid innovation cycles Iead to a considerable Iack of ITspecialists. On the other band, there are more than 32,000 unentployed ITspecialists and 60,000 unemployed engineers in Germany. These trends can also be ascribed to a quasi non-existent concept oflT-Training. To solve these problems and close the gap caused by the Iack of IT -specialist an association of representatives of employers and unions ('Bündnis fiir Arbeit') have initiated a re-structuring of advenced vocational training for the IT -sector. The Fraunhofer ISST has been commissioned to develop a concept for putting this system into practice. Under the title 'Further Professional Education based on Working Processes' (APO 2001 ), a concept which is work-integrated and based on business processes is to be developed in collaboration with industrial partners and educationa1 institutes.
