Specification and Generation of Learning Object Sequences for E-learning Using Sequence Feature Diagrams and Metaprogramming Techniques

The success of learning objects (LO) is limited by the ability to integrate them into coherent teaching courses in order to enable the educational goal-oriented creation of competency. LO sequences must be defined that are adapted to different types of learners, their personal needs and knowledge states to allow for effective personalized learning. In this paper, we propose a method for specification of LO sequences using Sequence Feature Diagrams and describe the generation of LO sequences from Generative LOs using metaprogramming techniques.
