GLUE!-PS: A Multi-language Architecture and Data Model to Deploy TEL Designs to Multiple Learning Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
The complexity of orchestrating TEL scenarios prompts for a careful learning design by practitioners. Currently, teachers can use variety of tools and languages to express their designs, but they are unlikely to be supported in deploying such designs in the learning environment of their choice. This paper describes a multi-tier architecture and data model to support the deployment of learning designs, expressed in multiple languages, to different learning platforms. The proposal strives to be sustainable in authentic scenarios by minimising both software development costs and changes to current installations. The architecture and data model are theoretically validated through the transformation of a well-known learning scenario from several design languages to different learning platforms, preserving the design’s essential characteristics.

Making Learning Designs Happen in Distributed Learning Environments with GLUE!-PS
There exist few virtual learning environments (VLEs) which allow teachers to make learning design decisions explicit and reusable in other environments. Sadly, those few VLEs that do so, are not available to most teachers, due to institutional decisions and other contextual constraints. This panorama is even grimmer if a teacher wants to use not only the tools offered by the institutional VLE, ...

متن کاملInvestigating Language Learning Strategies in ELT
Learning strategies play leading roles on students’ understanding information and solving problems. Not being aware of learning strategies and their use may lead to students’ failure. Furthermore, conducting research on learning strategies is difficult as they are not observable directly and selecting a reliable method is an issue. Accordingly, this paper aims to investigate the significant con...

This study is an attempt to extend our current knowledge by exploring the relationship between spiritual intelligence (SI) and multiple intelligences (MI) on one hand and the relationship between spiritual intelligence and language learning strategies (LLS) on the other hand among 30 MA TEFL learners of a state university in Tehran. To this end, King's Spiritual Intelligence Self-Report Invento...
متن کاملGLUE!: An architecture for the integration of external tools in Virtual Learning Environments
The integration of external tools in Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) aims at enriching the learning activities that educational practitioners may design and enact. Traditionally, external tools have been integrated by means of ad hoc developments, this solution being very ine cient as the number of VLEs and tools employed by practitioners increases. Besides, those generic approaches tackli...
