In principle, someone is working on it and there should be a better version in a not so distant future.

Pre-conference workshop on educational modeling languages

This is a page prepared for the participants.

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)
  • You may bring your own Personal Laptop

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 contents

(will be reordered at some point)

Conceptual overview

Overview of educational modeling languages

Ontologies and Metadata

IMS/SCORM 1.2/IEEE standards overview

IMS Learning Design and Simple Sequencing

Activity management systems

Document-centric models and systems

Educational use of design languages

Scenario planners


Discussion and alternatives

  • Do we really need modeling languages and in which situations ?
  • Where do light-weight cognitive tools and social computing fit in ? Why are they more successful ?
  • Industry modeling languages like UML ? The IMS learning design information model has been defined in UML.
  • What is the relation to document and hypertext standards ?
  • Where do (some) lesson planners fit in ?
  • The current status of IMS Learning Design (LD). Why are tools so slow to appear ?
