Structurization of Learning/Instructional Design Knowledge for Theory-Aware Authoring Systems

Currently, there are little guidelines on building quality standardcompliant learning courses. Although educational theories can be guidelines, there are difficulties in the practical use. An approach to the problem is to build a theory-aware and standard-compliant authoring system based on an ontology that establishes a multi-paradigm conceptual basis for learning/instructional theories. This paper discusses the feasibility of building such an ontology, as well as the functionality of a theory-aware authoring tool based on it.
