Abstract: It is relatively more difficult to support designing learning
contents than designing physical object.
The major problem is that we don't have a framework to describe the abstract
design object appropriately.
To solve the problem, we define an ontology for learning contents design and
have designed and developed a design support environment: iDesigner based
on it.
Laying the ontology as a basis for functionalities of {\itshape i}Designer,
following two functionalities are implimented.
1) Providing designers with an environment , to facilitate designer's externalizing
design issues that tend to be implicit.
2) Simulating change of understanding status of supposed learners to provide
designers with information to verify the leanring content.
