Operationalization of Learning Scenarios on Open and Distance Learning Platforms: The Case of the Moodle Platform

This paper aims to facilitate the operationalization of scenarios on learning platforms. We propose an approach based on the explicitation and the formalization of the implicit business language in order to use it as a mean of communication with external design tools without losing the semantic of the designed scenario. The originality of our approach relies in performing the scenarios operationalization by the development of a simple API based on the implicit language of the platform. Our proposal is based on a theoretical framework inspired from the Domain Specific Modeling. Finally, we detail the implementation of our proposal on MOODLE.
