Engineering Modular Web-based Education Systems to Support EML Units of Learning
نویسندگان
چکیده
Educational Modeling Languages (EMLs) have been proposed to support the modeling of units of learning enabling the description of different pedagogical approaches. Eventually, such models are intended to support the operation of appropriate computer systems, controlling and managing the corresponding units of learning. This paper considers EMLs involving a set of independent perspectives. Our purpose is to use this set of perspectives to facilitate the development of Web-based education systems that are able to support the execution of EML models. As a result, we obtain a modular architecture where different pedagogical approaches can be supported.

This case study presents the conclusions drawn from the creation and evaluation of three Units of Learning by the Interactive Technologies Group1 of Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UoLs). They were developed using Education Modeling Language (EML), and trialed in both distance and blended learning. The focus of the work reported was on evaluation of EML as a possible solution for two contexts: a dist...

متن کاملA Proposal for a Web Service-based Architecture to Support the Enhancement Of Units of Learning
This paper proposes an architecture based on Web services to support the enactment of ‘units of learning’ (e.g. a course, a lesson, a lab practice) modeled in accordance with an Educational Modeling Language (EML). These languages enable the modeling of instructional practices following a process-based approach, similar to a workflow language. Therefore, the units of learning involve the entiti...

The modelling of educational processes and their operational support is a key aspect in the construction of more effective e-learning applications. Instructional models are usually described by means of an educational modelling language (EML). The EML used can be one of the available standards (e.g. IMS Learning Design), the customization of a standard to meet a specific application profile, or...

Background: Interaction is considered a necessary, and integral part in all forms of distance learning and web -based learning environments. That how much technologies can support and help interactions is one of the most important issues that should be considered in the web-based environment. These interactions seek to engage students with other students, teachers and also non-human contex...
