I have founded the LICEF research center à Télé-université du Québec in Montreal. I am the main author of the MISA instructional engineering method, the MOT language and the MOTplus and GMOT visual knowledge editors.

This challenge cannot be met without information technology and without the integration of all the useful synchronous and asynchronous technologies in a coherent architecture. We call such an

The first and foremost is the use of education modeling languages and instructional engineering methods to help decide how

The importance of meta-knowledge justify its inclusion within a knowledge model that provides a structured representation of « learning objects», the content of a learning environment. We will outline briefly a knowledge representation technique that was built for the design of learning environments and extend it to display graphical descriptions of meta-knowledge objects and their relationships with domain specific knowledge. We then use the MOT knowledge editor to represent skills and generic processes at the meta-knowledge level. We finally show how a skill applied to a central knowledge object in an application domain can lead to meaningful learning scenarios intended both for the acquisition/construction of specific knowledge and meta-knowledge.
