Modelling using Object TypesKnowledge types are useful for Learning Environment Electronic

Performance Support Systems Integration of different viewpoints in the same model: domain,

functional, strategicSemantic transparency and ease of useA small number of knowledge types and links

are sufficient to represent complex models: Conceptual: class/sub-class, part-of hierarchy Procedural: sequential, parallel, iterative Prescriptive: constraints, theories, decision, control Methods and Processes: analytic, adaptative, synthetic

Processes and Methods

III- The Modeling Process

Building a MOT knowledge model

Initial development

Validatingsub-models

Structuringthe model

Generic ScenariosA process model of learning activities based on

generic tasks such as classification, diagnosis,

planning or modeling

A collaboration model involving the different

actors in the process: learners, tutors, content

experts, managers

A media delivery model associating to activities

information resources and production tools
