Introduction: ROLE

• ROLE project– Creating own Personal Learning Enviromments (PLE)– Based on widgets from the ROLE Widget Store– Technical infrastructure for creating PLEs

• Widget Container (ROLE SDK)• Contextual Attentation Metadata (CAM) for user logging• Inter-widget communication (IWC)• Storage of user and space data

– Psycho-pedagogical model• Support for self-regulated learning on different levels

SRL Ontology

• Ontology consists of learning strategies and techniques

• Service for searching the ontology with SPARQL queries

2012-09-03 ICWL 2012 in Sinaia, Romania

Approach based on [Mandl & Friedrich, 2006]

Templates, SRL Ontologies, and Widgets

• SRL Ontologies– network of SRL-related entities– functionalities are connecting entities with widgets

• Template– set of entitites of the SRL ontology

System Architecture

2012-09-03 ICWL 2012 in Sinaia, Romania

Front-end Back-end

• Open interface of all components

Pedagogical Meaning

• Learner get recommendations for widgets– according to learning activities; explanation how widget should be

used

• Teacher / tutor can create templates for courses– pedagogical knowlege in template

• Guidance strategy through templates– different levels between guidance and freedom possible

• Ensurance that widgets for different (meta-cognitive) learning activities are available – e.g. the four phases or specific cognitive activities

• No information about learning sequences• Widget Store as widget available

– PPIM expressed in Widget Store categories

Evaluation

• Evaluated by 29 teachers in two workshops (NEXT-TELL workshop and AHA Konferenz)

• Qualitative and qunatitative feedback• Qualitiative feedback: helpful for SRL and its meta-cogntive

aspects; helpful if great number of widgets available

Conclusion

• Mashup Recommender– helps to create own PLE suitable for SRL– based on a template / learning ontology approach– all components have open interfaces – can be used by other tools– overall evaluation result quite positive

• Next steps– recommendations based on usage data– recommendations based on learning goals (widgets can be

associated with domain concepts)
