Cloud-based learning: A study on rapid learning content development with an Agile method

Abstract

Cloud-based Learning has increased the quality of learning; it has also increased demand of quantity and quality of learning contents. The existing methods for developing learning content which are based on using Analysis — Design — Development — Implementation — Evaluation (ADDIE) process has been proven the effects of creating qualified learning, however, existing ADDIE process has shown the issues with slow reacting against fast changing and productivity of the development process. This paper aims to find out a new method that can be used to increase the productivity in developing learning contents. The key point of new learning contents is the interaction between learners with the learning contents which change the learning contents into a form of software. Thus, the proposed method will keep the advantages from the existing ADDIE process and improve it with Agile method which is well-known method used for managing software development. The results have revealed an agile environment to boost up the development process and help to create better learning contents.
