Goals of the DidacticProcessMap-Language

The intention behind the efforts is to create a description language for didactical processes which can be used in workgrip situations to discuss didactical processes.

Intended properties of the language:

• intuitive
• readable without big learning effort by teachers
• usable as base of discussions in workgroups:
  • readable from a distance
  • drawable on blackboard/whiteboard OR pinnable icons on a pinboard
• easing the comparison of two similar processes

Not intended properties of the language:

• The DPM does not have to describe every detail of a process, because humans who can talk to each other will be reading the language and not computers.
