7.2 Existing material 7 PRACTICAL EVALUATION
7.2 Existing material
According to 7.1.1 it was decided to use some existing material for this part of
the practical evaluation. Furthermore, it has to be noted that the author is not an
educational expert in the domain of the selected material:
• Entrepreneurship and Opportunity Recognition [184]
• Small Enterprise Resourcing [185]
The content is mainly text based, but also includes some graphical illustrations,
some mind maps and some case studies. However, the quantity of the material
is far too big to be converted completely in this PhD project. Therefore, only
selected parts of the material were authored with the HEAT.
The following results were gained during the evaluation.
7.2.1 EHP-Layer
From the author’s point of view the EHPs that are implemented in the HEAT
turned out to be satisfactory for the conversion of the material as long as only the
implemented TLSs are considered. Figure 21 illustrates the EHPs of a Lecture-
TLS created for the practical evaluation with the HEAT based on Small Enterprise
Resourcing [185].
It was also observed that in some cases new TLSs would have been needed in
order to convert the educational material. In this situation it would have been a
necessity to design new EHPs that would have allowed the creation of the new
TLS. An example of such a new TLS could be a Mind-Map-TLS which would
have been needed to convert the educational material with the HEAT.
7.2.2 TLS-Layer
From the author’s point of view it turned out during the conversion of the two
course books that a lot of the material could be converted with the existing TLSs
