Pre-conference workshop on educational modeling languages

This is part 1 of my contributions to Icool2007, i.e. resource page prepared for the workshop participants. I will not update this page.

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

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.
