1. Title Subtitle ED-MEDIA'04 (michael.derntl@univie.ac.at) The Person-Centered e-Learning Pattern Repository Design for Reuse and Extensibility Michael Derntl Department of Computer Science University of Vienna michael.derntl@univie.ac.at ED-MEDIA’04 Lugano, Switzerland June 26, 2004

2. ED-MEDIA'04 (michael.derntl@univie.ac.at) 2 Background  Blended Learning activities at the department –Computer science and business informatics courses (BSc, MSc, PhD) –Stepwise, “piecemeal” introduction of ICTs  HOW TO......capture these experiences??  Notes, written reports, evaluations...share these experiences??...make them available for reuse?? PATTERNS  PATTERNS

3. ED-MEDIA'04 (michael.derntl@univie.ac.at) 3 Patterns  Original idea Describing solutions to recurring design problems in architecture (C. Alexander)  (E-)Learning: increasing number of pattern initiatives –Pedagogical patterns project (non-e-learning) –E-LEN project (http://www.tisip.no/E-LEN)http://www.tisip.no/E-LEN –Educational modeling languages, e.g. EML  IMS/LD, E 2 ML –Educational hypermedia, LMS patterns, etc… Common goal  Common goal: capturing expert knowledge & experience for reuse

4. ED-MEDIA'04 (michael.derntl@univie.ac.at) 4 PCeL patterns Person-Centered e-Learning (PCeL) = Blended learning with person-centered baseline STRUCTURAL complexity Learning Technology Learning Theories DYNAMIC evolution

6. ED-MEDIA'04 (michael.derntl@univie.ac.at) 6 PCeL Pattern Repository  Blended, Person-Centered learning patterns  Method –Modeling of concrete courses at activity level –Extract frequently recurring, coherent activities –Describe using uniform template  Pattern –Group related patterns in „packages“ –Iterate!  Central role of models –Repository: patterns organized in packages –Patterns: models of learning activities (sequence) and structure –Learning activity models of concrete courses –Modeling language: UML  Repository: 7 packages

7. ED-MEDIA'04 (michael.derntl@univie.ac.at) 7 General Package  Patterns: –Frequently used, general nature –Not fitting into any other package

8. ED-MEDIA'04 (michael.derntl@univie.ac.at) 8 Interactive Elements package  Patterns: –Interaction / interactivity among participants, instructors, tutors, guests, … –Requirement: at least two actors interact

9. ED-MEDIA'04 (michael.derntl@univie.ac.at) 9 Evaluation and Feedback Packages  Valuing judgment on the performance of participants;  Lay foundation for assessing a grade  Collecting opinions and feedback in some structured or unstructured way

10. ED-MEDIA'04 (michael.derntl@univie.ac.at) 10 Other Packages  Project-Based Learning  Assessment  Course Types

11. ED-MEDIA'04 (michael.derntl@univie.ac.at) 11 Example: Arranging Patterns

12. ED-MEDIA'04 (michael.derntl@univie.ac.at) 12 Example: Concrete Course Preliminary Phases Project-Based Learning Project Proposals

13. ED-MEDIA'04 (michael.derntl@univie.ac.at) 13 Project-Based Learning Assessment Phases Collect Feedback

14. ED-MEDIA'04 (michael.derntl@univie.ac.at) 14 Example: Team Building online

16. ED-MEDIA'04 (michael.derntl@univie.ac.at) 16 Conclusions  Usage of object-oriented principles plugging in –Enables “plugging in” of additional patterns –Explicit concept  instance relationship  Usage of UML enables standardized visual analysis and design of e-learning courses  e-Learning patterns enable… –Shared vocabulary & experience –Uniform representation  search, comparison, etc. –Targeted specification of required ICT support  derivation of support modules
