Workshop on Educational resources for 21st century Schools Jordi Vivancos CITE Symposium March 2010

Workshop Plan Spectrum of Learning and ICT Main issues for Digital Learning Resources 1.Access to resources 2.Production models 3.Standardisation Collaborative building of a Map for Digital Learning Resources

Is Technology only a resource? WITHFROM ABOUT

A need for easy access to DLR 1. Classifying: IEEE LOM

DLR physical support

DLR technical format

DLR aggregation level Atomic element (text, graphic, audio, video) Learning activity Learning Object Sequence Course

DLR structure Lineal Hipertext Hipermedia Adaptive A A B C D E

DLR difficulty level

DLR interactivity level

DLR type of Licensing model

2. Production models for DLR 1.Editorial 2.Personal 3.Collaborative 4.Híbrid

Search 2.1. Editorial Model Repository Feedback Learning Object Publication Student Sequencing Interaction Tagging Agregation Component creation MLE Evaluation VLE

2.2. Personal content creation Many tools available: Presentations Activity oriented tools VLE as course or scenario creators Independent tools

2.3 Collaborative authoring: Wikis

Creation: Publishers Teachers Repository Assignation Teachers Students PublicationAggregation Teachers Students Communities 2.4. Hybrid Models

Distribution of DLR: From broadcast to personalised Stand alone content: CAL-Cdrom (1980’s) 1 st generation Web content (1990’s) 2 nd generation: LMS – VLE (2000) 3 rd Web Cloud computing (2010) Personalised learning content (20XX)

VLE: the “operating system” of XXIst century school Identifyer / password Learning activity monitoring Digital learning resources web Access

A new ecosystem for digital content Students Content providers School VLE Authors / Editors Digital infraestructures + Elearning standards

3. Need for Open Standards for DLR

A cartogram example: Countries and population

Workshop task: Build a shared cartogram of DLR 10 minutes groupwork Search synonyms for the type of resource assigned Identify 3 examples of the type of resource Locate the resource according the “Map Coordinates” Count the number of hits in Google All group: (3 min presentation/group) Agree each resource best title, location and “bubble size” Agreement on examples proposed Continue discussion in Workshop Ning forum.
