Abstract
Design of learning contents is more difficult to support than design of a physical substance because its object is abstract and it is difficult to establish a framework to express it appropriately. To address this issue, we converted an abstract concept about learning content design to an ontology. Then, on the basis of that ontology, we developed iDesigner, a design support environment. iDesigner realises the following two points: the designers are compelled to make the implicit results of their work explicit in order to deepen thinking about the design of an abstract matter; and the designers are provided with basic information to verify content validity by simulating the change of understanding of a learner in the learning contents model at a conceptual level, which is the intermediate result of design.
