eMadrid Research Related toOpen Issues

1) Open source software

2) Open educational resources

3) Open educational organization

4) Opening labs for remote use

5) Opening up choices for education

Amman, Jordan EDUCON, 2011-04-04

1) Open Source Software

Open source LMSs have played a decisive role in the expansion of technology-enhanced learning

They have been incorporating successivelyadditional functionality and diverse pedagogies

Moodle has in particular contributed crucially

Contribution to supporting in Moodle theNucleo blended learning approach, incorporating problem-based learning,

collaborative learning, role-play game dynamicsand a fantasy metaphor

1) Open Source Software

2) Open Educational Resources

The open source principles have been taken from software development to the authoring of content

Open Educational Resources are presently a very strong movement that is increasing the amount of freely available educational material exponentially

With a steady increase in the number OERs available worldwide, the question arises of how todiscover these resources easily

Advances in web technology, such associal web and linked data, can help here

2) Open Educational Resources

3) Open EducationalOrganization

Open Source has already changed the way we know education, basically with tools and content

Beyond tools, new trends inspired in the Open Source movement may change education in the near future from an organizational point of view

Several (informal and formal) experiencesare presented and discussed

Amman, Jordan EDUCON, 2011-04-04

4) Opening Labs for Remote Use

E-learning is not just interacting with learning objects

Physical labs are another useful resource in education, especially for engineering and science education

Since they are confined to a physical location, it is interesting to open up this access from remote locations in the same effective way as learning objects (LOs)

are accessed through an LMS, taking advantage of the provided services, such as

authentication, group building, etc.

4) Opening Labs for Remote Use

5) Opening Up Choicesfor Education

Blended learning allows the best of both worlds,face-to-face and digitally supported learning

Learning in the physical world becomes technologically underpinned with mobile and ubiquitous technologies

The digital image has been incorporatingmore and more elements from the physical worldAvatars, scenarios, 3D virtual worlds

The two worlds are getting more interleaved:3D mirror worlds and mobile augmented reality
