Abstract

The adaptation of existing E-Learning material to a changed usage scenario is a complex task. But in reality, often the persons, who have to adapt existing material, are not experts in performing all needed tasks. Thus, to be able to support those persons, it would be desirable to provide a tool based on expert knowledge about how to perform the processes. In this paper an approach is presented, how experts in performing adaptation processes can provide their knowledge about the processes via a pattern based description formalism. A wizard guiding users step by step through the described adaptation processes can be derived from the patterns. This wizard offers expert knowledge to persons who are novices in performing adaptation processes.
