Abstract
The standardization of eLearning environments and the design of collaboration scripts are two research areas that are acquiring a greater attention within the Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) community. IMS Learning Design (IMS-LD) is the specification used to describe instructional strategies. In this paper we analyse the suitability and lacks of IMS-LD for modelling collaborative learning processes. Based on this result, we propose a reference model inside the IMS specifications core and the use of a graphical notation called CIAN (Collaborative Interactive Applications Notation) as CSCL scripting language. Using these specifications of a high level of abstraction and mappable to a computer-interpretable notation such as IMS-LD, allows hiding the particularities of the standard to instructional designers.
