eLearning Development Environment for Software Engineering Selbo 2

This paper gives brief overview of Selbo 2 - development environment for creating SCORM compatible electronic content. Selbo 2 uses intelligent editors (combination of component and agent) to manipulate learning content and aid content developer during content creation. Ontologies provide developers with predefined resources covering specific domain that can be used directly in the content. Selbo 2 also utilizes education templates that define pedagogical goals and agents to govern them. Furthermore, the environment employs schemes for adapting itself to its user and for collaborating with the learning management system (LMS). Although Selbo 2 is designed primarily for electronic education, it can also be used in virtual engineering. Different teams, working on the same project, can prepare e-lectures that give overview of their current progress, using terms and concepts from the same ontology. These lectures can be shared among teams and used as initial teaching materials for new project members.
