Conceptual Workflow Modelling for Remote Courses

Development of a wide spread project intended to teaching Computer Science, integrating a considerable number of students all over a country with big geographical extension and scarce educational funding such as Brazil, is a complex task. The communication technology is an important factor in this case to maintain the expenses under control and assure the participation of the geographically dispersed communities. The new tendency to deploy the learning activities to the WWW creates an excellent opportunity for remote courses. To establish a god quality in the offered learning material, the remote (and Web) technology demands new information system modelling techniques. Our approach is to develop a complete conceptual modelling of the course. The static parcel is described with an entity-relationship model and the dynamics properties with a workflow modelling of the full course structure and temporal constraints. To make the traditional workflow modelling more effective it is necessary...
