Abstract
The article demonstrates the importance of designing re-configurable and reuseable training media for trainers, course-providers and course-developers. It analyzes the underlying concepts of re-configurable training media and their authoring, production and distribution processes and shows the importance of sound development for the conceptualization and realization of modular training media. It illustrates how re-configurable training media can be built in various languages and media-formats using open standards and open source technologies. Based on a multi-national project, the practical application of such an approach and show how trainers and course providers might be supported in building individualized sets of training media and across various media formats (WBT, print) are discussed.
