Track 14. 10th International Workshop on Software Engineering for E-learning (ISELEAR’19)

Presentation

This track hosts the 10th International Workshop on Software Engineering for ELearning (ISELEAR’19). This workshop is focused on all the Software Engineering aspects of the e-Learning application domain. In recent years, elearning systems have become real ecosystems where very diverse tools and techniques are combined, from digital repositories, mobile phones, tablets, learning management systems, social networks, etc. The design of an ecosystem of this type requires the participation of a very diverse and heterogeneous profiles such as teachers, developers, students, or employees of educational institutions. Likewise, these systems must respond and combine the needs of each of the participants. For this reason, the design and development of an eLearning system is very complex. In order to face the complexity and specificity of e-Learning projects, the use and adaptation of techniques of software engineering development and design is required. However, in some cases, the specificity of the projects will require the development of new tools and techniques that are more appropriate for this context. Given this context, institutions, companies and educational tool developers have made an important effort to define ad-hoc tools and methodologies specifically conceived for e-learning (production of learning contents by multidisciplinary groups, application of e-learning recommendation and standards, formative assessment approaches, etc.), and standards for different aspects of e-Learning systems. For these reasons, it is possible to consider a discipline about e-Learning Software Engineering, which addresses all the aspects of the systematic conception, design, development and maintenance of eLearning solutions. In general, Software Engineering topics are treated in a light way in typical eLearning scientific conferences, which generally are focused on pedagogical and user-centered aspects of advanced technologies and educational systems, while aspects like modeling, design, project planning, life-cycle, etc. are barely addressed or treated as collateral matters. The ISELEAR Workshop series are oriented to bridge this gap.
