Development and evaluation of the Reload Learning Design Editor

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper › Academic

Abstract

The Reload suite of tools provides support for IMS interoperability specifications. The creation of an editor for IMS-LD posed new challenges when compared to earlier and simpler specifications. The changes which this required to the Reload architecture are identified, and its development described. The use of the Reload LD Editor by Liverpool Hope University in the LD4P project is described, and the results on evaluation of the tool with teachers outlined. This showed that teachers found the Reload editor challenging to use, but not as difficult as might have been expected. This work resulted in proposals for new interface features for Reload intended to make the tool more usable by teachers.
