Comparing prescribed and observed for the re-engineering of e-learning systems

In e-learning and distance teaching environments, course designers have to adapt their learning materials (resources and scenarios) to a preexisting social and technical context. Even if teaching experiences are acquired by taking into account learners and/or tutors feedback, e-learning systems often omit the reengineering purpose. In our framework, we consider that an e-learning system has to integrate the analysis, the design and the reengineering of pedagogical materials. This paper presents a part of our study on the reengineering of e-learning systems. It focuses on the analysis of tracks generated on the learner activity and behavior by the learning management system, in order to improve the distance learning design.
