  1. EILE – The Enhanced individualized learning environment for “identity”

  2. EILE Purposes [1] • “The Enhanced Individualized Learning Environment (EILE) is aimed to provide the learning frame in which tutor and student can interact across the barriers of time and distance, in order to support and guide the student in the individualized learning required by the educational process.” • “EILE valorizes the postulates of the current learning approaches (constructivist and socio-cultural), that propose knowledge construction by interaction with the information and the social environment. E-learning favors theoretical knowledge construction and limits psychomotor skill formation, which represent a strong inconvenient in the technical disciplines. This difficulty is diminished by the VR tools, which offer multi-sensorial information and allow object manipulation and activity simulation in the VR environment.“

  3. EILE Purposes [2] • “EILE will be dedicated to endorse the asynchronous learning part, without time-constraints, also untied to space or mobility restrictions – distance-learning and ubiquitous (mobile) m-learning, respectively.” • “EILE provides each student and tutor with a “tailored panel” to identify the student’s learning needs and the adequate adjustments and to assure an efficient progress of each student.” • “EILE also provides each student with access to the VR-LRC needed to learn to the fullness of their individual ability.”

  4. EILE Development • Actions in the development of the EILE: • The choosing of Moodle as base platform; • Customizing the look-and-feel of Moodle: • Creating a personalized theme for the project, in accordance with the project’s website; • Incorporating into the personalized design the graphical and text elements required for Minerva projects; • Research regarding the possibility of creating a Tailored Panel in Moodle; • Research on the API (Application Programming Interface) offered by Moodle to the developers; • Developing the Tailored Panel as a block element of Moodle.

  5. Why choosing Moodle for the EILE? • The EILE is based on Moodle LMS; • Moodle is the new “standard” in the LMS world: • it is an Open Source software package; • over 36,094 instances in more than 196 countries; • is hosting a total of 1,554,459 courses for more than 15,617,065 users; • “speaks” more than 70 languages; • it is used by thousands of universities world-wide; • most of the partners in the Identity project already use Moodle.

  7. The Tailored Panel [1] • The EILE offers to the Tutors and Students a Tailored Panel – a tool for identifying the students’ needs and allowing a good and efficient way of communication between the student and the tutor; • The Tailored Panel has 3 “faces”: • one for the student – the Student panel; • one for the tutor – the Tutor panel; • one for the administrator of the EILE – the Admin panel.

  8. The Tailored Panel [2] • “Tutor panel” includes the following major functions: • module-course information; • student assistance; • student progress reports; • best practice guide; • resources (VR-LRC) access. • “Student panel” includes the following major functions: • learning information; • progress information; • best practice guide; • resources (VR-LRC) access; • contacts (tutors, students, administrative desk).

  9. Student: name • learning information: • -Course 1 information • Course 2 information … • Progress information • -report 1 result • report 2 result … Resources access VR-LRC Best practice guide Contacts: -Tutor (s) -Colleagues -Administrative desk The Tailored Panel [3] Tutor: name Objectives; Pre-requests; Milestones; Reports description • learning information: • -Course 1 • Course 2 … • Student assistance • -student 1 • student 2 … Adding new resources for students VR-LRC Recommendations concerning reports preparation Best practice guide • Student progress reports • -student 1 : report 1, 2…. • student 2…

  10. Tailored panel development [1] • Moodle allows the developer to write it’s own “blocks” – panels; • The PHP code it’s placed in a file in the “blocks” folder of Moodle; than the block is recognized by the platform; • Moodle offers many API functions for extracting the information contained by the system about the teachers, the students and the courses;

  11. Tailored panel development [2] The list of courses the logged Teacher tutors Documents concerning the elaboration of reports for evaluation. Section Misc contains documents regarding general guidelines. Integration with the VR-LRC The list of reports from students – the tutor will be able to grade them Un-answered questions from the students

  12. Tailored panel development [3] List of existing courses The student uploads reports for the tutor to grade Integration with the VR-LRC Documents concerning the elaboration of reports for evaluation The student can ask questions to the courses’ tutors in which he is enrolled List of contacts – contains a “static” part with the contact data of general interest (like the administrative desk) and a contact for enrolments in courses.

  13. Tailored panel development [4] • The “Admin panel” will allow the administrator to add the “static” contact data. • Status of development • The tailored panel it’s in development and will be ready on the 15th of January 2008.

  14. Proposal of the integration between theTailored Panel and the VR-LRC • The steps for importing a SCORM ZIP file into Moodle: • the user searches in the VR-LRC the file he wants and downloads it onto the user’s hard drive; • the user adds an activity of type SCORM to its course, providing for upload the ZIP file. • We propose to define and develop, together with DIBE, a mechanism of searching/browsing the VR-LRC and importing the SCORM ZIP files directly into the Moodle platform, all through the tailored panel.

  15. VR-LRC integration

  16. Activities for all the partners • Each partner must insert at least one course/course module into the EILE until the 15th of February 2008; • Also, each course must use some resources from the VR-LRC; • The EILE will be used to teach some courses in the 2nd semester; • A guide for working with courses in the EILE will be provided.

  17. Thank you for your attention!
