Pre-conference workshop on educational modeling languages

Lecturer: Daniel K. Schneider, TECFA, University of Geneva

Venue

ICOOL 2007
3rd International Conference on Open and Online Learning
Pedagogical Scripting for Open and Distance Learning (ODL)
11-14 June 2007, Hotel Equatorial, Penang, Malaysia
Organised by the VCILT, University of Mauritius in partnership with the School of Distance Education, Universiti Sains Malaysia

Organization

  • 1-day workshop, June 11 9:30-12:30h 14:00-16:30h
  • Maximum participants: 20
  • Other requirements: Bring your own memory stick (USB key)

Aims

  • This preconference workshop aims to introduce and discuss various educational modeling languages (EML). An EML formally describes educational materials and/or pedagogical scenarios. Some EMLs are executable, i.e. allow to assemble certain kinds of learning objects which then can be "played" in various platforms.
  • We introduce educational modelling languages as building blocks of instructional designs and critically discuss purpose and scope of various formalisms and tools. Participants also will gain some hands-on experience with a few tools.

Program

Theory overview

  • Purposes of EMLs: Design aid and interoperability
  • Purposes of major current standards and future trends
  • Support for educational design models. What are the limits of EMLs ?

Technology overview

  • IMS/SCORM/IEEE standards overview
  • The current status of IMS Learning Design (LD)
  • Alternatives to LD like LAMS and CeLS
  • Discussion and alternatives, e.g.: Where do cognitive tools and social computing fit in ? What is the relation to document and hypertext standards ?
