2. Fifth European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning (EC-TEL 2010) Sustaining TEL: From Innovation to Learning and Practice 2 MOODLE BLACKCT Online learning (e-Learning) e-Learning courses face-to-face learning Traditional courses Traditional learning & e-Learning  Online learning is more effective than face-to-face learning;  Online learning combined with some face-to-face learning (blended/hybrid learning) is the most effective;  Face-to-face learning alone is the least effective method among the three types studied. (Means et al. 2009) Technology-enhanced Learning Technology-enhanced Learning: supporting learning in 21 st century.  All in terms of “Web is things”, or “Internet is things”… Technology is not enough to make successful e-Learning!

3. Fifth European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning (EC-TEL 2010) Sustaining TEL: From Innovation to Learning and Practice  Literature on use of Instructional Design (ID) for e- Learning  Referred to the systematic approach, and using ISD model  End result: efficient and effective instruction (pedagogical strategy), regardless of who are teaching. (Kanuka, 2006) Almost in form “one size fits all” 3  Pedagogical strategy is effective – but it is not sure of engaging  Need of existing a learning environment that is effective and engaging (Broderich, 2001) Situation of Instructional Design : past and present Instructional design for e-Learning is necessary ! “At it best, e-Learning is as good as the best classroom learning. And at its worst, it is as bad as the worst classroom learning. The difference is design.” (Horton, 2006)

4. Fifth European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning (EC-TEL 2010) Sustaining TEL: From Innovation to Learning and Practice How is e-Learning design ? 4 HOW DO WE HAVE A PEDAGOGICAL STRATEGY THAT IS EFFECTIVE AND ENGAGING WITH LEARNING ENVIRONMENT?

5. Fifth European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning (EC-TEL 2010) Sustaining TEL: From Innovation to Learning and Practice Need to combine Technology and Pedagogy in design 5  Technology  “Science” of design  Approach: Ambient Intelligence paradigm  Environment: Web + on-line services  Context-aware: using profile to recognize learner and community  Personalized: recommending learner to meet her demands based on learning communities  Adaptive: implicit and explicit feedback to updating profile  Learning content: completeness and logicality  Learning Activities: almost the same as in traditional form  Pedagogy  “Art” of design  Engaging learner with learning contents: appropriateness  Engaging learner with instructor: attraction and ergonomics  Engaging learner with group learning: suitability required

6. Fifth European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning (EC-TEL 2010) Sustaining TEL: From Innovation to Learning and Practice Main Principle: LEARNER is able to study in collaborative environment – but learning supports satisfy her own demands and individual characteristics 6 Technique: e-Learning 2.0 + Personalized System Way of our approach …

8. Fifth European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning (EC-TEL 2010) Sustaining TEL: From Innovation to Learning and Practice Conclusions 8 To sum up, the outstanding features of our work are mainly:  Building user profile for e-Learning and applying in distance training program of Vietnam Higher Education context with the useful information, and especially basing on analysis of learning process to update user profile, and  Focusing on two levels of adaptation in e-Learning system: (1) private adaptation (interaction between learner and system), and (2) community adaptation (collaborative activities between learners in a group learning or a community). We are continuing to complete the proposed model of user profile and group profile, and then using both of them in UMeL tool with real-life datum from distance training program of HCMC University of Science.
