CADMOS is a learning design tool, that has been created in order to be used by novice learning designers, i.e. practitioners with basic computer skills and knowledge of learning standards. It is compatible to the IMS LD Level A/B standard and in the same time has a friendly interface by hiding any technical details from the designers-users.

It can be used by practitioners with basic technical skills
It has a visual notation
It offers guidance to the designer
It describes different objects of the learning design, such as activities, resources, rules
The learning activities are described from different views (conceptual/flow model)
It can convert the learning design that is created with its own notation system, to an IMS-LD level A/B manifest file, which can be played by an IMS-LD compatible player such as RELOAD
It can import an IMS-LD manifest file and convert it to its own notation system
