- 1. Challenges of Applying Online Learning Tools in Distance Learning Courses Elio San Cristóbal Ruiz UNED (Spanish University for Distance Education) Elio@ieec.uned.es
- 2. Main Ideas Online learning tools, such as courseware, learning management system, assessment tools, virtual, and remote laboratories are used in blended and distance learning This paper describes some online learning tools and the challenges to apply them in distance learning. Marrakesh EDUCON, 2012-04-16
- 3. Some E-learning Systems • Courseware: a set of e-learning resources (e-learning content, test, other materials) in an established order. • Learning management systems or LMS are a set of services that allow displaying theoretical content in an organized and controlled way. Marrakesh EDUCON, 2012-04-16
- 4. Some E-learning Systems • Virtual labs are software of simulation that allows students can carry out experiments from their home. Student Internet Web Server Student Marrakesh EDUCON, 2012-04-16
- 5. Some E-learning Systems • Remote labs are applications that allow students to work with real instruments. In the case of remote web labs, students hand the instruments through Internet. Audio and video Server Student Internet ? Controller ? Web Instruments Server Student Databse Server Marrakesh EDUCON, 2012-04-16
- 6. Current Situation • Each of these online learning tools is designed and implemented, using different software architectures. • Many universities create new online learning tools and do not use the existing. Marrakesh EDUCON, 2012-04-16
- 7. Current Situation Other Learning Systems Marrakesh EDUCON, 2012-04-16
- 8. Current Situation • These learning tools provide learning services and learning material such as, web pages, videos, assessments, etc. Normally, these contents do not fulfill with learning standards. • The navigation and sequencing for all the learning systems that make up the learning environment is a complicate task. Professors have not to know about programming; therefore, an editor should be able to allow professors to create sequences of learning, using the different learning systems. Marrakesh EDUCON, 2012-04-16
- 9. Solutions and Initiatives • To make easier the searching of educational resources. IEEE LOM -> Set of Metadata to describe learning Resources Dublin Core…… Marrakesh EDUCON, 2012-04-16
- 10. Initiatives • Lab2go is a Web portal that aims at bringing online lab developers, researchers, professors and students. Marrakesh EDUCON, 2012-04-16
- 11. Solutions and Initiatives • To make easier the reuse of educational resources. IMS Content Packaging (IMS-CP) specification describes data structures that can be used to exchange data between systems. Marrakesh EDUCON, 2012-04-16
- 12. Solutions and Initiatives • To make easier the reuse of educational resources. Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) is a collection and harmonization of specifications and standards that defines the interrelationship of content objects, data models and protocols Marrakesh EDUCON, 2012-04-16
- 13. Solutions and Initiatives Marrakesh EDUCON, 2012-04-16
- 14. Solutions and Initiatives Marrakesh EDUCON, 2012-04-16
- 15. Initiatives • LiLa (stands for Library of Labs), a European eContentPlus project that promotes a portal of Online Labs resources and fosters exchanges on experiments between institutions. Marrakesh EDUCON, 2012-04-16
- 16. Initiatives Marrakesh EDUCON, 2012-04-16
- 17. Initiatives • CORE SCORM. This project adds to SCORM a Web Service Runtime Communication Profile Standard (based on a Web Service binding of the IEEE 1484.11.2 functionality and on IEEE 1484.11.3) to exchange data between SCORM package and LMS. Marrakesh EDUCON, 2012-04-16
- 18. Solutions and Initiatives IMS Global Learning Consortium Common Cartridge (IMS-CC) defines a new package interchange format for learning content, able to run on any compliant LMS platform. Marrakesh EDUCON, 2012-04-16
- 19. Initiatives • IMS Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) v1.0 provides a single framework or standard way of integrating rich learning applications. Marrakesh EDUCON, 2012-04-16
- 20. Initiatives • OCELOT (Open and Collaborative Environment for the Leverage of Online insTrumentation) is an open source and collaborative Online Laboratory framework and middleware. It uses W3C Widgets-based Graphic User Interface for delivering to the learner. • Creating web architecture to exchange information (tracking users, result experiments, etc.) among remote laboratories and learning systems LMS, LCMS . Marrakesh EDUCON, 2012-04-16
- 21. Initiatives Marrakesh EDUCON, 2012-04-16
- 22. Initiatives • The Global Online Laboratory Consortium. This is focused on promoting the development and sharing of, and research into remotely accessible laboratories for educational use. Some of the universities, which are in this consortium, are: • University of Technology, Sydney • Massachusetts Institute of Technology • University of Deusto • University of Stuttgart • Carinthia University of Applied Sciences • Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia • Makerere University • Technische Universität Graz • The University of Queensland • TU Dortmund University • School of Engineering - Polytechnic of Porto • Universidad EAFIT • College of the North Atlantic Qatar Marrakesh EDUCON, 2012-04-16
- 23. Initiatives A long way is being walked to create learning scenarios: - New e-learning standards - And new technologies such as ESB and services architectures are being developed Marrakesh EDUCON, 2012-04-16
