Software Product Line to overcome the variability issue in E-Learning: Systematic literature review

Abstract

The disparity of educational technologies, pedagogies and learning styles implies a problem of variability when modeling E-learning systems. Furthermore, the current learning context, which has become very open and heterogeneous, raises the problem of automating the modeling, development and maintenance of personalized E-learning systems based on various pedagogies. For its part, the "Software Product Line" is a paradigm that aims to produce product families based on the principles of reuse, configuration and derivation. The main purpose of this literature review is to explore the different potential applications of "SPL" in the E-learning domain to figure out the problem of variability. We will adopt a protocol for a systematic review of literature, after which we will draw up an analysis report.
