Objective
The project SAFE (Standard Authoring Facility Environment) will initiate the SAFE pan-European development of a coherent and flexible framework to harness emerging European Learning Technology in respect to facilities for developing European Open Learning Material.
An architecture has been developed for an intelligent simulation learning environment. A set of specifications has also been defined for a common authoring environment which can integrate authoring tools from different sources.
Many institutes and companies in Europe are working on authoring facilities. This effort is, however, very fragmented, what results in duplication of work and a lack of interoperability between the outcomes.
The project in the Exploratory Action is limited to first steps towards standardisation of facilities and datastructures and to defining how state-of-the-art Information Technology and Instructional Technology can be merged to develop sophisticated authoring facilities. The main outcomes will be the definition of a Open System for Instructional Design (OS- ID) and functional designs of authoring facilities to be embedded in this OS-ID, OS-ID will provide crucial input for PETE (Portable Educational Tool Environment).
Two potentially very important types of Open Learning Material will be investigated in detail (simulation-based and hypermedia-based), partly in respect to their learning potential but mainly in respect to their specific development problems. In parallel to these two subprojects, several crucial aspects of the authoring process will be addressed in dedicated groups (e.g. subject matter analysis, courseware engineering, design databases, user interfaces). These groups are not restricted to any type of learning material but will investigate how these aspects of authoring can be supported by sophisticated tools. Furthermore they function as a discussion platform on detailed aspects, both within the project and to other European projects.
The assembly of the consortium guarantees that full use will be made of both state-of-the-art learning theories and information technology, but also represents potential users of an ultimate Standard Authoring Facility Environment.
