Dynamic Course Editor to Train Electric Power Operators

An SCORM compliant system called Aprend-e (e-learning in Spanish) has been developed and implanted at Comisio¿n Federal de Electricidad (CFE) to build a collection of training objects for electric power operators. Aprend-e includes an editor and a repository of learning objects (LOs). LOs prepared with the editor have been executed with a SCORM compliant LMS with positive results. The editor is implemented using a graphic interface and a semantic network, such that an instructor authoring a LO can use any of all possible statements of the SCORM 2004 to build a manifest for the LO. For instructors that develop dynamic courses or intelligent tutors, Aprend-e has adapted a method from the literature were the course planning can be represented using a graph (AND/OR graph) and then the graph is converted to SCORM activity trees. Currently the repository has been loaded with 130 LOs for electric power operators training.
