“…The aspects of learning orchestration mentioned in [17] have been subject of our work up to now ( [8], [10], [11], [12]) but the focus has been put upon the point of providing adaptivity along with intelligence in systems for CSCL support (e.g. [9] for AICLS systems).…”

“…IMS-LD and Web services) formed the background of our reference architecture MAPIS presented in [11] . While IMS-LD is a mature standard in the CSCL area, web services which are also basic constituents of our architecture, is a standards-based way of rapidly developing applications [31] -often referred to as mashups or widgets ( [32], [33]) -with the benefits of (a) loose-coupled software components and (b) machine-to-machine interoperability [34].…”

“…For instance, in an example case (see [11]) a service taking as an input the required number of groups -provided it has already knowledge about students' prior domain knowledge through a questionnaireperforms group formation, stores the results and outputs a message indicating the successful (or not) finalization of the process. This part of the architecture can be whatever tool, even a web conference tool that outputs, for instance, participation indicators through a web service.…”

“…We have argued elsewhere ( [1], [4], [10], [11]) that a solution to the script flexibility issue could be the integration of adaptive characteristics to systems for scripted collaboration by means of integrating "Adaptation Patterns" (APs) to the design. An AP captures some core idea of pedagogical value on how to adapt the collaborative learning activity when specific conditions occur.…”

In this article we present a 3-layer architecture (MAPIS3) that facilitates the integration of adaptive characteristics in an IMS-LD based computer-supported collaborative learning scenario (CSCL script), by making use of external and independent software components. The proposed architecture introduces a mediator component (MC) as a key element which mediates the communication of IMS-LD based representations (Learning Designs) with external services (e.g. a forum in a VLE, an agent or any software component that provides a specific functionality). Overall, the MAPIS3 architecture facilitates managing the complex task of controlling learning and data flow among these external services, through the MC and towards the IMS-LD module, which in turn acts as the orchestrator of the whole CSCL script. This work presents an example scenario, as a proof of concept, analyzing the architecture and demonstrating the flexibility of architecture implementation. In this scenario IMS-LD based modeling and Coppercore engine are used to implement adaptations by setting IMS-LD properties depending on input from three external tools: a) a Moodle questionnaire b) a group formation tool and c) a Moodle forum tool.

Abstract. In this article we present a framework for the integration of external and independent software components into IMS-LD (Learning Design) based courses that cater for adaptivity. Our framework comprises a design specification and an implementation of adaptations in CSCL (computer-supported collaborative learning) oriented and standards based architecture. The architecture allows combining existing research on explicit representations of collaborative learning processes (i.e. learning designs) with the availability of existing and tested collaborative learning tools (e.g. a forum in a virtual learning environment (VLE), an agent, a service or even a software component that provides a specific functionality). The architecture allows controlling the learning tools either by a human or a pedagogical agent and thus enables adaptive interventions to the flow of the learning activity. A mediator component is the key element in the proposed architecture. To prove the soundness of the architecture and the flexibility of its implementation example scenarios are illustrated. In these scenarios IMS-LD based modeling and Coppercore engine are used to implement adaptations by setting IMS-LD properties according to input from an external Moodle forum tool. The whole process is mediated by an integration component provided to the teacher as a Moodle resource. Finally, we highlight what would be important issues toward integrating the adaptation pattern capabilities in IMS-LD compliant tools for collaborative learning design.
