The dynamic teaching materials system: a way to make teaching materials evolve

Abstract

This paper discusses the development of the dynamic teaching materials system and its evaluation tests. The system was developed in a research project realised jointly at Nagoya University in Japan and Brasilia University in Brazil. The main purpose of creating this system was to find a way to make teaching materials dynamic, so they could be easily adapted to the necessities encountered by the teacher during classes. Another important point was to find a way to allow teachers to create, update and share multimedia interactive teaching materials themselves. The actual features of the system allow the teaching materials to evolve, but there are still many possibilities for improving the system.
