| Abstract: | The last decade has brought about a major change in higher education. Course design has developed from a craftsmanship-like
process to a structured production, which involves interdisciplinary teams and requires more complex communication skills.
This conceptual article introduces E2ML–Educational Environment Modeling Language–a visual language for supporting complex instructional design processes. E2ML can be used for visualizing the intermediate and final results of design, thus providing documentation in a shared language
that can enhance team communication, improve design, and contribute to the development of high-quality instruction. The language
and its formal features are presented from a conceptual point of view and illustrated by examples. The main results of a first
evaluation study are reported, and the exploitation of E2ML in practice as well as its costs and benefits are critically discussed. |
