“…Due to the lack of explicit knowledge about the use of Dalton Plan instruments and principles in e-learning, there is a need to reconstruct knowledge empirically to fulfil the need for integrating pedagogical knowledge in software and method development (Baxter & Sommerville, 2011;Pange & Pange, 2011;Pankowska, 2012;Lindgaard et al, 2006). Unfortunately, existing user centred design methods and software design & engineering methods are not integrated and often not even compatible (Nebe & Zimmermann, 2007).…”

“…With respect to technical e-learning systems, software features are in the focus during development and pedagogical aspects are mostly ignored (Casanova, Moreira, & Costa, 2011;Pange & Pange, 2011). Moreover, today's software design and engineering methods are not compatible with User Centred Design methods (Nebe & Zimmermann, 2007). In the following, we describe a novel concept-map based method that allows transparently transferring end-user knowledge to the design and engineering activities.…”

e-Learning systems increasingly support learning management and self-organized learning processes. Since the latter have been studied in the field of progressive education extensively, it is worthwhile to consider them for developing digital learning environments to support self-regulated learning processes. In this paper we aim at transforming one of the most prominent and sustainable approaches to self-organized learning, the “Dalton Plan” as proposed by Helen Parkhurst. Its assignment structure supports learners when managing their learning tasks, thus triggering self-organized acquisition of knowledge, and its feedback graphs enable transparent learning processes. Since e-learning environments have become common use, rather than creating another system, we propose a modular approach that can be used for extending existing e-learning environments. In order to design a respective component, we interviewed experts in self-organized e-learning. Their input facilitated integrating the Dalton Plan with existing features of e-learning environments. After representing each interview in concept maps, we were able to aggregate them for deriving e-learning requirements conform to the Dalton Plan instruments. In the course of implementing them, particular attention had to be paid to the asynchrony of interaction during runtime. Java Server Faces technology enable the Dalton Plan component to be migrated into existing web 2.0 e-learning platforms. The result was evaluated based on the acquired concept maps, as they also captured the transformation process of the Dalton Plan to e-learning features. The findings encourage embodying further progressive education approaches in this way, since the structured (concept) mapping of the Dalton Plan to e-learning features turned out to be accurate. The experts were able to recognize the potential of the approach both in terms of structuring the knowledge acquisition process, and in terms of developing progressive learning support features.

“…It can be observed that this hierarchy of standards, process models and processes exists in both disciplines, but there have been few attempts to exploit these similarities for integration. With this goal in mind, the authors analyzed these three levels and presented a holistic approach for integration of SE and UE [12,13,14]. By doing this, the authors identified similarities between SE and UE on the level of standards.…”

Usability is growing to become an integral quality aspect of software development, but it is not an exclusive attribute of the generated product; it is also a fundamental attribute for the development process itself. The question is how to adapt software engineering processes (or models) in such a way that they can ensure the development of usable solutions. In this paper, the authors present an integration approach pursuing this goal. It draws on so called 'Compliancy and Key Requirements' that can be used for the definition of software processes (or process models) and thereby support the integration of both disciplines. The requirements are based upon representative standards (DIN ISO 13407 and ISO/PAS 18152) but were enhanced by the results of an expert based survey using interviews and questionnaires. Additionally the requirements have been verified by experts and represent an evaluated knowledge base for the development of usable products.

“…And on the operational level concrete recommendations for activities have to be formulated to enable effective collaboration with reasonable organizational and operational efforts. In previous work the authors have addressed individual aspects of this integration approach (Nebe & Zimmermann, 2007a;Nebe & Zimmermann, 2007b;Nebe et al, 2007c), which are now composed into a coherent system.…”
