Modeling Didactic Knowledge by Storyboarding

Abstract

University education often suffers from a lack of an explicit and adaptable didactic design. Students complain about the insufficient adaptability to the learners' needs. Learning content and services need to reach their audience according to their different prerequisites, needs, and different learning styles and conditions. A way to overcome such deficiencies is representing the didactic design explicitly. A modeling approach called storyboarding is introduced here. Storyboarding is setting the stage to apply Knowledge Engineering Technologies to verify and validate the didactics behind a learning process. Moreover, didactics can be refined according to revealed weaknesses and proven excellence. Successful didactic patterns can be inductively derived by analyzing the particular knowledge processing and its alleged contribution to learning success.
