Definition

ReCourse is a IMS Learning Design editor, sponsored by the TENCompetence project. As of Feb 2009, the project is alive and the lastest version was released in jan 2009.

This editor is implemented with Eclipse, needs Java installed on your computer and should run on all platforms. Users should be familiar with the IMS learning design language, i.e. understand its logic and the purpose of its most important elements.

The user interface

The user inteface is a mixture between what could be called the Reload paradigm (load level forms-editing) and a visual educational design language editor.

Here are two screendumps from a included "dialog scenario" that was included in the download of version 1.7.1.
