<p class="commentary_div"><strong>Commentary on:</strong> Chapter 20: Delivery of Learning Design: the Explor@ System?s Case. (Paquette, Marino, De la Teja, Léonard, & Lundgren-Cayrol, 2005) <div class="abstract_container"> <strong>Abstract:</strong> We developed a Web portal, named netUniversité, that enables the teachers to create their courses online then to visualize, manage and participate to them. In order to create and execute the courses content, we have implemented an IMS LD player and an IMS LD web course content editor. These modules are integrated in the netUniversité;. Using this application the teacher can automatically generate educational Web site structures, adding the pedagogical contents in these structures. However, the main weakness of a web editor (like ours) is the lack of a global view of course structure. These aspects prompted us to create a graphical editor that offers to the teacher a perspective on the IMS LD document with the possibility to perform some basic editing operations (adding, moving, deleting) in order to complete the web editor. In this paper we describe our approach concerning this graphical editor that is included in the web editor to the netUniversité; web portal. </div> <div class="editors_container"> <strong>Editors:</strong> Colin Tattersall and Rob Koper. </div>
Highlights
We developed a Web portal, named netUniversité, that enables the teachers to create their courses online to visualize, manage and participate to them
We don't present here a more detailed description of the principle of generating educational Web sites structures because our goal is to describes the functionalities of an IMS LD graphic editor using a representation by graphs in order to modify the course structures

Summary
Considering the diversity of digital material and taking into account that users can access these elements, distribute them, exchange them, update them, the designers of electronic teaching objects have underlined the importance of standards These standards provide a "common language", which is currently used for indicating, organizing and describing the digital educational resources. Our analysis regarding various norms and standards (IEEE, 2001; Friesen et al, 2002; ADL, 2001; IMS, 2003) enabled us to choose the standard IMS LD for representing the pedagogical content in the models of educational Web sites In realizing these teaching models, we are interested to take into account several concepts like: theories and models of teaching and training, curricular areas, roles of actors (learning, group leaders, professors, tutors, etc), interactions between these various actors in the training environment. These structures are generated starting from answers given by the user (the teacher) by responding to two interactive questionnaires: a pedagogical questionnaire and a GUI (graphic user interface) related questionnaire (cf. figure 1)
