Descripción
The Interactive Technologies Group (GTI, 2008) at Universitat Pompeu Fabra is working on several research lines aiming at innovating and enhancing the technological support to increase the practical benefits of Learning Design. This research is mainly performed in the context of the European TENCompetence project (TENCompetence, 2008) which will support individuals, groups and organisations in lifelong competence development by establishing a technical and organisational infrastructure, using opensource standards-based, sustainable and innovative technology. In particular, GTI is working on three main topics: planning learning paths, flexibility in the enactment of learning designs and innovative forms of assessment.
Lifelong learning goes beyond the mandatory education curricula and takes place throughout people’s lives. With the explosion of offers related to learning courses and materials, keeping track and planning learning paths and activities has become a real challenge for educationalists and learners. Figure 1 shows the approach that GTI is developing to tackle this problem. It consists in a tool that visualizes educational units and enables the exploration of large datasets. The visualization is layered so that it benefits human’s habit rather than system constraints (Moghnieh et al., 2007; Girardin et al., 2007). The layers consider three levels of interaction as illustrated in Figure 1 where the user converges on proper options when moving from the overview layer to the planning layer, even making decisions that narrow the choices down to the most convenient ones. Providing the individuals with the means to understand their …
