The present study aims to identify standards of interactive digital concepts maps design and their measurement indicators as a tool to develop, organize and administer e-learning content in the light of Meaningful Learning Theory and Constructivist Learning Theory. To achieve the objective of the research, the author prepared a list of E-learning content design standards based on interactive digital concepts maps. It involved (11) general standards and (40) performance indicators. | Journal of Technology and Science Education JOTSE, 2018 – 8(1): 5-16 – Online ISSN: 2013-6374 – Print ISSN: 2014-5349 E-LEARNING CONTENT DESIGN STANDARDS BASED ON INTERACTIVE DIGITAL CONCEPTS MAPS IN THE LIGHT OF MEANINGFUL AND CONSTRUCTIVIST LEARNING THEORY Mohammed Kamal Afify Department of Educational Technology, College of Education, Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University (Saudi Arabia) mafify@ Received November 2017 Accepted January 2018 Abstract The present study aims to identify standards of interactive digital concepts maps design and their measurement indicators as a tool to develop, organize and administer e-learning content in the light of Meaningful Learning Theory and Constructivist Learning Theory. To achieve the objective of the research, the author prepared a list of E-learning content design standards based on interactive digital concepts maps. It involved (11) general standards and (40) performance indicators. It was investigated by 21 teaching staff members who are experts in educational technology and e-learning to ration the list and its performance indicators. Results illustrated that standards are too significant and appropriate for the purpose of the study. Results were discussed in the light of theoretical background results of researches and literature review in the field. The study provided recommendations and suggestions that can be used as practical applications in the field of developing E-learning content based on utilizing interactive digital concepts maps. Keywords – Interactive digital concept maps, E-learning content, Meaningful and constructivist learning theory. ---------- 1. Introduction Digital content used for learning in E-learning environment, greatly increased last decade. Availability and increase of digital information necessitate availability of tools which help students and teaching staff members organize and integrate e-resources effectively and search within them to .
