이러닝의 표준의 하나인 Learning Design은 학습을 학습 조건 및 학습 결과와 연계된 다양한 학습활동의 결합으로 보고 각각의 학습 활동은 학습 참여자의 역할, 학습 환경, 맥락적인 학습 진행으로 구성된 것으로 본다. 이런 관점은 BPM (Business Process Modeling)과 상당한 유사점이 있는데, BPM은 기업 활동을 비즈니스 활동의 프로세스적 집합으로 표현한다. 본 논문에서는 LD 표준으로 구성된 학습 활동을 BPM의 표현 방식으로 변환하는 방법에 대하여 기술함으로써 학습 활동을 기업 활동으로 가져와 통합할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구의 개발 내용은 오픈소스 BPM인 uEngine의 프로세스 엔진 부분을 수정하여 구현하였으며, uEFL이라는 오픈소스로 공개되어 학습 및 기업 활동 통합 솔루션으로 현장에서 활용될 것이다.
LD (Learning Design) specification represents learning as various combination of learning activities with learning conditions and outcomes. Learning activities are described with participant’s role, learning environment, and contextual sequence. This viewpoint resembles BPM (Business Process Modeling). BPM represents business process as an aggregation of unit business process with procedural and sequential information. This paper describes the method of conversion from LD to BPM description, and BPM engine modification to adapt LD efficiently. This work was implemented and tested with uEngine, which is an open source and java based BPM system. It is possible to integrate general business/learning activities and processes into the proposed work. The system is distributed under open source project named uEFL.
