WP6 Tasks• Task 1. Research and develop new and existent flexible pedagogical models &

learning activity models facilitating and integrating individual learning, collaborative learning, organisational learning and knowledge management.

• Task 2. Select and adapt existing tools for the creation, storage, search, retrieval, reuse, support, sharing and quality rating of learning activities and Units of Learning to create the components in the second architectural layer that can be integrated as services at the third layer within the Integrated TENCompetence System.

• Task 3. Develop a formal specification model and supporting tools that combines new assessment types and the ones included in the IMS QTI (providing input for standards development).

• Task 4. Develop a formal specification to connect communication and collaboration services to LD runtime engines.

• Task 5. Experiment with, and evaluate the usability of the components for learning activities & units of learning.

• Task 6. Research and develop models and methods to stimulate and organise the creation, storage, search, retrieval, use, support, reuse, pro-active sharing and quality rating of learning activities & units of learning.
