With the aim of facilitating teachers the design of units of learning and assessment, this paper proposes the use of different educational pattern types. Depending on the type of patterns, the resulting didactic materials are specified using IMS Learning Design or IMS Question and Test Interoperability extended with integrated Web2.0-like services.
Advances in educational technology have enabled new forms of organizing and managing collaborative learning environments. One of the currents trends in research on Technology Enhanced Learning is the application of computer-interpretable scenarios, such as those formalized with IMS Learning Design (IMSLD), for the description and deployment of Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) scripts...
This paper describes a computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) case study in engineering education carried out within the context of a network management course. The case study shows that the use of two computing tools developed by the authors and based on free-and open-source software (FOSS) provide significant educational benefits over traditional engineering pedagogical approaches in terms...
The use of patterns in e-learning is being recently proposed with different purposes and scopes. This paper provides a unifying view of several representative proposals in order to situate and introduce the types of patterns that can be used for generating collaboration scripts that are suitable of being computationally represented and interpreted by learning management systems (LMSs). The paper also...
This paper proposes collaborative learning flow patterns (CLFPs), which represent best practices in collaborative learning structuring, as a central element of a kind of bi-directional linkage that facilitates that teachers can play the role of designers influencing in the behavior of CSCL (computer-supported collaborative learning) technological solutions. Additionally, this paper describes a technological...
This paper describes an approach for modeling and implementing a collaborative learning situation, which is part of a real lifelong learning scenario in astronomy. We adopt and slightly adjust IMS learning design for computationally representing the script so that collaborative tools can be satisfactorily employed. We use Collage editor, which enables the re-use of general structures proposed by collaborative...
