Abstract :
The IMSLD specification had emerged in 2003, with the aim of allowing learning scenarios design with regards to good and successful pedagogical guidelines. Since that time, many research works had been carried out to provide authoring tools and/or LMSs that implement it. So the IMSLD success does not only depend on its own principals but it greatly depends on tools implementing it. However some authoring tools and LMSs (which are considered as LD execution environments) lack some software quality characteristics as interoperability, flexibility adaptability, graphical interface usability,... But with the SOA oriented LMSs, the learning process should be considered as a business process where learning services are orchestrated to provide to learners the best learning experiences either individually or collaboratively. In this paper, we present a novel approach and a graphical tool based both on the IMSLD specification and on MDA (Model Driven Architecture) transformations to Business Process Modeling Ontology (BPMO) notation.
