Theatre metaphor

Forget about the levels ­The levels are only useful for technicians not for educators… ­But still it helps a little

The basics Level A Have your ALFANET editor ready ­Three types of activities: ­Learning activity ­Support activity ­Activity structure ­Two types of roles ­Learner ­Staff ­The environment ­Learning objects ­Services

Relation ­Learning activities ­A learner learns by doing activities ­Primarily for the learners ­Core of the education ­Activity structure ­Sometimes the activities need to be carried out in a specified order or the learner may choose what to do. ­Environment ­To perform an activity some materials might be needed ­The learner needs to communicate with others ­Support activity ­Learner or staff with special activity to help (other) learners.

The dynamics Level B ­Properties can determine how a learner progresses through the course or what is made visible. ­Activities ­Content within an activity ­Completion of activities, acts, play and unit of learning can be made dependable on properties ­Services are given extra possibilities ­Conditions can depend on Calculations with properties

Communication Level C ­Notifications inform (someone in) a role that something has happened ­Depending on completion of ­Some activity ­Some condition with properties

Diving into the deep

You wanted properties Here they come ­Properties come in threes 1.In the Components 2.In the Play 3.In the content

In the components ­This is the place where the properties are declared

Four types of properties 1.Local properties ­Used within the unit of learning ­Same for every user in a run ­Different for another run 2.Global properties ­Used outside a unit of learning ­Defined in one UOL and used in another one 3.Personal properties ­Owned by a person ­Can be local or global 4.Role properties ­Owned by a role ­Always local

To set the property You have chosen the <view-property xmlns=" href="id-D996B9E6-4EA2-11D5-8D AC39A2F5" property-of="self" view="value"/> route. About halfway through you will be given the opportunity to switch to the other route. You will be given guidance on this using 'early reflections'. To view the chosen property
