E-learning course editor
First Claim
1. One or more machine-readable media that store executable instructions which, when executed, generate a course editor for an electronic course, the course editor comprising:
- an input to accept author commands; and
an interface to edit the electronic course in response to the author commands, the interface comprising;
a workspace to display structural elements that comprise the electronic course, the workspace displaying the structural elements graphically as the structural elements relate to one another in the electronic course, the workspace providing functionality that allows an author to edit, interactively on the workspace, content of the structural elements and relationships among the structural elements, the relationships among the structural elements defining a flow through the electronic course;
wherein display of the structural elements is dictated by a learning strategy that is applied to the structural elements to affect the flow through the electronic course, the structural elements storing attributes relating to the learning strategy, and the learning strategy altering at least one of the attributes when the learning strategy is applied to the structural elements.

Abstract
A course editor includes an input to accept author commands. An interface processes and displays the author commands to facilitate the creation of a course. The interface may include a workspace to display and assemble the structural elements into the course. The workspace may include a menu of structural elements that may be added to the course. The workspace is configured to display a structural element in response to an author command selecting the structural element from the menu. The structural elements may be a sub-course, a learning unit, and/or a knowledge item.

-
an input to accept author commands; and an interface to edit the electronic course in response to the author commands, the interface comprising; a workspace to display structural elements that comprise the electronic course, the workspace displaying the structural elements graphically as the structural elements relate to one another in the electronic course, the workspace providing functionality that allows an author to edit, interactively on the workspace, content of the structural elements and relationships among the structural elements, the relationships among the structural elements defining a flow through the electronic course; wherein display of the structural elements is dictated by a learning strategy that is applied to the structural elements to affect the flow through the electronic course, the structural elements storing attributes relating to the learning strategy, and the learning strategy altering at least one of the attributes when the learning strategy is applied to the structural elements. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)

36. One or more machine-readable media that store executable instructions which, when executed, generate a graphical user interface of a course editor for an electronic course, the graphical user interface comprising:
-
a workspace window to edit and to display structural elements of the electronic course, the workspace window displaying the structural elements graphically as the structural elements relate to one another in the electronic course, the workspace window providing functionality that allows an author to edit, interactively on the workspace window, content of the structural elements and relationships among the structural elements, the relationships among the structural elements defining a flow through the electronic course, wherein display of the structural elements in the workspace window is dictated by a learning strategy that is applied to the structural elements to affect the flow through the electronic course, the structural elements storing attributes relating to the learning strategy, and the learning strategy altering at least one of the attributes when the learning strategy is applied to the structural elements; an explorer window to display the structural elements as icons in explorer format; and a dialog box window to display data fields corresponding to structural elements displayed in the workspace window. - View Dependent Claims (37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76)
