Abstract
In this paper we propose a methodology intended to improve Course Curriculum Design (CCD) tasks, using for this purpose Semantics and CBR techniques. In specific, our proposed methodology is focused on two points: (i) the re-use of available resources (courses, etc), and (ii) the application of the experience of different experts in the course creation. As a prove of concept, we present a case study where our methodology is applied for competence and course creation using the Spanish normative for vocational education domain (technical degree).
