Abstract
This paper introduces a procedural model for the configuration of modular content. The model helps to decrease the amount of effort necessary to generate individual documents for learning and application. It provides precise instructions and a standardised procedure for implementing user requirements as well as situation-specific document requirements. By considering a set of scenario-specific design recommendations, the described procedure enables the author to generate individual documents, even when he is not familiar with the underlying cognitive conditions. Finally, the configuration model and the modularisation approach are key prerequisites to generating user-specific documents within a reasonable amount of effort.
