75 The Generation Approach of Multi-Target Learning Management System

This article introduces the basics of a new programming method of virtual learning environments. This approach is based on generative programming that integrates the user specifications (abstract models) and technologies desired in order to produce bricks software, then put them together to produce a solution adapted to area and users’ needs. This idea is used at different levels in the design and implementation of our system LMSGENERATOR, a software factory for business components and platforms for distance learning. In this work, we present the challenges, the methodology followed and the implementation of our approach: LMSGENERATOR, with these two phases of generation process.
