A framework for producing e-Learning deliverables from a single source

This paper seeks to explore the issues and technologies around development and delivery of a technology-enhanced learning (TEL) tool. Developers in this field face major challenges in developing tools to adequately address the issues raised during the development process, which vary from learning theory to software engineering. However, understanding and resolving each of the requirements and the tensions between participants has long been recognized as fundamental to any systems success. While current systems enable the user to produce e-learning materials in one particular format such as video or audio podcasts, they are unable to generate a range of different formats from a single source. The solution to this results in proposing and developing an automated e-learning system (framework) that is capable of producing e-learning materials in a number of formats from a centralised unit.
