Abstract
Creating good quality learning resources is not sufficient for an optimum learning experience. Equally important is having a more enabling learning process involving not only the delivery of learning materials but also other activities that the learner must carry out to meet the learning objectives proposed by the instructor (tutoring, tests, reading books, etc.). Educational Modeling Languages (EMLs) are the cornerstone of e-learning because they provide a language that can be used by the instructors to formalize their own teaching process so that it can also be interpreted by computers. In this chapter we provide a conceptual introduction and a high-level classification of some of the proposed EMLs.
