BP4ED URL:http://www.scitepress.org/PublicationsDetail.aspx?ID=n/QF9QiJs1E=&t=1

●BP4ED is a cloud-based web system designed to facilitate the role and interaction for SMEs, instructional design (ID) experts, technical design (TD) experts, and production personnel (PP) t providing them with online best practices on ID and TD.

●BP4ED embodies some of the best practices suggested by Horton to organize eLearning content and by Clark and Mayer, to present (display) such content.

●BP4ED consists of a set of templates designed to correspond to the units of eLearning. When eLearning content is designed with BP4ED, selecting the desired units of eLearning entails to automatically assemble the corresponding templates into the corresponding hierarchy — SMEs will then write or insert relevant content (text or multimedia resources) in the fields of the templates selected.

●From the resulting structure of a course thus designed, BP4ED determines both navigation and interactivity by the user, thus eliminating the corresponding design and implementation work.

●BP4ED was implemented with Apache server, MySQL, PHP, JavaScript, CSS3 and HTML5.
