There is an universal agreement that the structuring of didactic
materials helps the student in his/her learning process when
dealing with such materials. It is then important for the teacher or
a student to choose among different structures so to use the one
that best conveys the desired knowledge. This need is nowadays a
priority also in the e-learning world since several e-learning
courses exist on the web and many more are created every day.
Unfortunately, most of the existing e-learning platforms offer just
a single way to organize the course contents (book structure).
Whoever is interested in organizing the course contents in a
different way (e.g, with a concept map) must use specific tools
that are external to the e-learning environment and are often
difficult to use.
This work presents the details of the tool we have created to
overcome the problems and limitations presented above. We have
implemented an on-line application, called STRUCT, that allows
teachers and students to easily publish didactic materials on the
web and to organize them by choosing the most appropriate
structure among different alternatives. STRUCT has been built in
a way to be easily integrated inside the most popular e-learning
platforms such as Moodle or ATutor
