[more] Augmented Reality, 3D virtual worlds, etc.: the technology has evolved tremendously and so has its application to the field of education. Digital technologies have advanced to the point, where we are reproducing digitally more and more aspects of our life. We have parallel worlds: on the one hand the real world, and on the other virtual worlds, that can in fact be linked to the real one. They have different properties, but they can enrich and complement each other. In this paper, we explore the possibilities and challenges of these parallel worlds for educational uses.

[more] E-portfolios in learning environments have been attributed numerous benefits and their presence has been steadily increasing. And so has the variety of environments in which a student participates. Collaborative learning requires communication and resource sharing among team members. Students may participate in multiple teams throughout a long period of time, sometimes even simultaneously. Conventional eportfolios are oriented toward showcasing individual achievements, but they need to also equally reflect collaborative achievements. The approach described in this paper has the objective of offering students an e-portfolio as a local folder their personal computer containing a combined view of their individual and collaborative work spaces. The content of this folder can be synchronized with a remote server thus achieving resource sharing and publication of a clearly identified set of resources.

Current issues with assessment formats and interoperability
Education Engineering (EDUCON), 2010 IEEE; 05/2010

[more] Assessment has been one of the areas in computer supported learning where technology has been quickly deployed. Support for computer based assessment is found not only in all Learning Management Systems, but also as stand-alone tools. This large number of tools has led to the appearance of a large number of formats to store, retrieve and exchange assessment material. Although institutions such as the IMS Global Consortium have proposed specifications (e.g. IMS QTI) aimed to facilitate the exchange of this material, in the actual landscape, there are still too many formats that significantly hinder the reuse of this material. In this paper an analysis of the implementation of these formats is described.

System orchestration support for a flow of blended collaborative activities

[more] The introduction of portable devices in education opens up new possibilities for Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) by providing advanced learning scenarios with activities in different spatial locations. However, organizing and structuring collaborative learning flows in these innovative scenarios represents also a workload for practitioners, which hinder the adoption of these technologies. As a step forward to alleviate this workload, this paper analyzes the limitations and bottlenecks detected in an actual collaborative blended learning experience carried out in a previous study and proposes a technological solution for solving them. The resulting solution is presented as a concept proof consisting of a Unit of Learning suitable to be instantiated with IMS Learning Design and complemented by a Generic Service Integration system. The paper also discusses to which extent the proposed solution covers the limitations detected in the previous study and how useful could be for reducing the o
