Modelling a course

I studied UML en IMS/LD ("the eternal promise") in the past, but wonder more and more why I (and you?) are not using the more flexible and forgiving visual structure of Moodle as Structure-organiser:

The first level of this structure in the course section overview page:
  • consider a course as a set of themes/topics, covering the subject
  • consider a section as the container that holds one or more tasksets
  • build tasksets (in the past I used the name learning-object for this) of the structure:
    • always label as covering header
    • orientation part: text, multimedia, sometimes pretest
    • exercise part:
    • diagnostic test (yourself) part
    • broaden part:
      • glossary filled with lemma's by the students
      • a group wiki where students apply (and document) the theory
      • questions constructed by students covering the theory (1.9)
    • reflection:... there are several additional (structuring) formats to organise bigger projects
If you need metadata, then browse the forums, there are several additional modules (even LOM and Dublin Core) created in the past to cover that aspect..
