Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research aims at design principle for learning support system to provide flexibility to enhance functions of learning environments without losing content reusability. A key concept to achieve both function extensibility and content reusability is “courseware objects”, which are program modules included to implement new functions. To allow any combinations of courseware objects, communication patters between them need to be defined in advance.Investigation for such communication patterns shows that four communication patterns defined for the self-learning environment can be applied to the group learning environment without modification. Design patterns are proposed for courseware objects to comply with the communication patterns, then it is demonstrated that various practical learning scenarios can be implemented with the courseware objects employing the design patterns.
