The ComBLA Method. The application of Domain Analysis principles to the Instructional Engineering context
Abstract
Domain Analysis (DA) is a common activity within software engineering conceived to
ease reusability and to facilitate the communication among different actors. This
methodology allows a priori-scoping of the problem by identifying those elements or
areas of interest that determine the development process of domain systems. The
ultimate purpose of DA is to treat systems of the domain as a whole that permits the
reuse of components and experiences. With the purpose of improving the development
of courseware, my PhD Thesis postulates an analysis method based on applying DA
principles to the instructional context. In this presentation, I will expose the main
characteristics of my research work, the results of applying this methodology to the
development of computer-based learning systems, and the enumeration of such
drawbacks and shortcoming that I have identified along my PhD Thesis. In addition, I
will talk about the research work that would want to tackle during my stay at L3D.
