Abstract
The development of hypervideo-based Learning Objects (LOs) is complex and usually requires a multidisciplinary team, e.g., software developers, designers, and content specialists. In such a scenario, it is important to provide easy-to-use and flexible authoring tools that allow teachers create their educational content by themselves. This chapter presents a comprehensive list of requirements for hypervideo LO authoring tools (gathered from a literature review, a user-oriented participatory design, and a review of current LO authoring tools). Moreover, this chapter proposes the Cacuriá tool in order to fulfill all the identified requirements. It also presents a declarative model, called SceneSync, to specify hypervideo documents in the educational domain. The tool proved to be useful for teachers to build LOs. The main positive results of the usability tests were related to the learnability of the user interface in terms of ease of use and reduced learning time.
