Abstract
Learning State is a lesson editor that creates a control file in XML so that a designer can not
only sequence lesson content but also determine how a student should engage the content. Further
because of its inherent structure of XML, lesson content will be open and easily modifiable. Learning
State is designed to integrate three separate parts: content, state sequence and the delivery model. We
used XML to model the content by creating a DTD that orders the content to a specific type of delivery
model. For example in factual information we used a linear-temporal model whereas for the concept
attainment model we modeled the various examples and non-examples of specific attributes.
