ADALE International Workshop on Adaptive Learning and Learning Design Peter Dolog, Milos Kravcik, Daniel Burgos, Marcus Specht, David Griffiths, Pythagoras Karampiperis, Ambjörn Naeve

Workshop Aim Several large intrernational projects dealing with Learning Design Bringing people together Face the results of the community with people external to the projects Interaction between learning, personalization and computer science researches => AH a very good venue

Questions How to support interoperability between workplaces, learning activities, and learning repositories? How to adapt selection, access, and guidance in such an environment? How to support connections between learning activities and workplace processes?

Workshops Themes Learning Design and Professional Learning Competency Based Approaches to Workplace Learning Knowledge Management and Learning Business Processes and Learning Activities Social Relations in Workplace Learning and Adaptation Adaptive Knowledge Sharing Learner Assessment in Learning Design and Learning Processes Adaptive Learning Design Reusable Adaptive Patterns

Topics Addressed IMS LD elements supporting adaptation Design-time vs. Run-time adaptation Modeling of learning processes Knowledge representation for adaptive learning design Template based authoring of adaptive learning strategies Adaptation based on learning standards Localization of multimedia for personalized adaptive learning

Current Problems IMS LD can represent some adaptation methods, but not all of them Specification of concrete learning design instances is usually context dependent and does not support reusability very well Representation of various types of knowledge and their interaction to assist authors and to generate concrete instances dynamically Interoperability demands – between systems & between different models/layers Learning standards are not harmonized – Semantic Web is used as mediator Authoring of learning design and adaptation strategies

Feedback from Discussion Applications/Commercial driver is needed Complexity of Learning Design (Profiling) Experiments with other methods of instructions, areas, user groups (autism) Contexts and LD Visual representation (methaphors) and authoring Patterns and best practices
