Abstract

Maintain and operate TELs systems in real situations generally requires for developers to carry out re-engineering activities to find some adaptability solutions for TELs' users. In this article we illustrate and discuss a techno-centric aspect of re-engineering realized on an existent TEL system: the Apprenticeship Electronic Booklet. The first version had been found too rigid by its end-users in regard to the roles management and to the underlying academic structures. In order to improve this TEL system, two approaches of re-engineering have been conducted. The first solution focuses on a more classical internal modification of the system functionalities. The second re-engineering work follows a Domain-Specific Modeling approach that led us to propose a graphical editor communicating with the TEL system. This external component aims to provide end-users with a more user-friendly 'editor' to configure booklets.
