Abstract

The IMS Learning Design Specification (IMS-LD) is investigated in this research, to provide advantages including a more dynamic and adaptive e-course than traditional online pedagogical strategy, for learners with special needs. It is a new standard for e-learning development that can be explored for a variety of learner needs. This specification has three levels: Level A, B and C. These levels provide different features to support learning scenarios to suit users' profiles. This project examines the appropriateness of the IMS-LD in Special Education. IMS-LD Level B in particular may be appropriate for configuring the learning material to suit special needs. We investigate the tools needed for e-learning, including the description of learning content and learning activities in the appropriate run-time environment.
