3.3 EFTECS at TLS-Layer 3 EFTECS
because it seems feasible to convert it into a computing paradigm. The kind of
meta-information needed for a lecture is shown in table 2.
Lecture meta-information
Table 2: Lecture meta-information
Every piece of meta-information in table 2 represents an EHP. Different instances
of the Lecture-TLS could be constructed out of these basic EHPs.
In this project a lecture is defined as the combination of information in a specific
way, for example a theory of a concept is presented to the student in a browser.
The student is then guided to a page where he is presented with some proof of
this theory. Finally, the student is guided to a page with an example related to
the topic. Throughout the presentation the student could be provided with some
additional help from the system.
For the EFTECS the three following subtypes of lectures were implemented:
• Inductive
A specific theory is followed by the proof of the theory followed by an
example.
• Deductive
A theory is developed out of an example and finally proof is given.
• Network Style
Several Lecture-TLSs are connected and combined so that a deeper insight
of a general concept can be transferred to the student.
3.3.3 Case Study
Another TLS in the context of the EFTECS is the Case-Study-TLS. The Case-
Study-TLS looks at a specific object (task, process, state) from different angles.
