Abstract
This paper introduces a novel solution for visualized knowledge and workflow management, which can significantly improve usability of learning environments. The motivation is that in traditional LMS, learner cannot navigate through learning materials of several courses simultaneously, which would be very beneficial. First we present an analysis of three basic organization structures - matrix, hierarchy and network. Then an analysis of types of learning content and data formats for selected computer science courses is performed. The most versatile structure was finally enhanced to support well-arranged simultaneous display of learning content of several learning courses, organized by the course, content type and sequence.
