Modeling Collaborative Learning Activities on e-Learning Platforms

Abstract

The scenarization of educational activities, especially those that are going to take place within elearning platforms, has for a number of years represented a major challenge for groups working to favor the emergence of educational standards. In this paper we describe a meta-model, LDL (Learning Design Language), to formalize scenarized activities. We particularly highlight the correct adaptation of this meta-model for modeling various collaborative situations.

Dynamic Navigation for Personalized Learning Activities Based on Gradual Adaption Recommendation Model

“…In a similar way, Martel et al proposed a study of LDL (learning design language) to formalize learning activities [12]. LDL is based on a meta-model that includes rules, positions and observables.…”

Helping the Teacher to Re-Organize Tasks in a Collaborative Learning Activity: An Agent-Based Approach

“…Recent Web-based learning environments allow designers of learning activities to define their own learning scenarios [2]. Many platforms propose statistic tools [3] and sometimes also specific functionalities for tracking students [4] or for student groups [3] tutoring.…”

“…Recent Web-based learning environments allow teachers to rebuild a virtual classroom, where the sequencing of activities of a learning session can be described via learning scenarios [1] [2].…”

LDL: An Alternative EML

“…LDL [4] includes structures which organize the participants' interactions and position them relatively the ones compared to the others. Interactions represent the exchanges between the participants.…”
