Requirements for educational software could be based on an analysis of existing learning situations. In order to obtain useful information about teaching practices, an explorative study has been conducted with a group of Italian teachers. Collected answers highlight that pedagogical support is needed in order to design effective educational software.

While the benefits of computer-assisted learning are acknowledged within the educational community, numerous new educational software applications are being developed.

Software has been used to facilitate the learning of specific concepts at the cellular and molecular levels in the biological and health sciences (3, 11, 15). Although educational ...

In this work we address the problem of the design, development and maintenance of Web educational software. In our approach, the Web is conceived as a hypermedia system with “very long” links and the markup language as a tool that can capture the most essential features of an educational application. We think that beyond HTML, mark-up languages based on SGML can be used with a double purpose in...
