Definition

E2ML is an educational modeling language for describing instructional design issues such as learning goals, roles, actions, and resources.

An E2ML blueprint consists of three sets of documents. Each of them provides support for specific design tasks. The three sets are: 1. Goal Definition, i.e., a declaration of the educational goals. This is composed by two documents: the goal statement and the goal mapping. 2. Action Diagrams, i.e., the description of the single learning and support activities designed for the instruction. 3. Overview Diagrams, i.e., two different overviews of the whole design, the dependencies diagram and the activity flow.
