In Vocational and Educational Training (VET), new trends are toward social learning and, more precisely, toward informal learning. In such settings, this article introduces a process — the e-Qualification — to manage informal learning on the ELeGI “Learning Grid Infrastructure.” It argues that this process must occur in a social context, such as virtual communities. On the one hand, it describes their necessary characteristics and proprieties that lead to the creation of a new kind of virtual community: the Virtual Learning Grid Community (VLGC). On the other hand, e-Qualification cannot occur without the help of a kind of user’s profile, called e-portfolio. Moreover, the e-portfolio is also a process, used to manage the Virtual Learning Grid Communities. The e-Qualification and Virtual Learning Grid Communities’ management will probably rely on the cooperation of different distributed, autonomous, goal-oriented entities, called Mobile Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Agents. Furthermore, we hope that implementing these services will decrease the lack of informal learning treatment on the grid and will become the basis for new services on the Learning Grid.

The study aims at forming larning group and improving students’ learning achievement of the elementary, junior, and senior schools at villages Bandungrejosari and Bakalankrajan Kecamatan Sukun Malang. The study uses quantitative-qualitative descritptive approach. The subjects are 15 local peopleas IbM cooperative partners trained to be learning counseling instructors and (2) 138 elementary , 18 junior, and 14 senior high school students joining with learning group and learning counseling at villages Bandungrejosari and Bakalankrajan kecamatan Sukun Malang. The instruments are observation sheet and test consisting of pretest and posttest. Based on the result achieved, the IbM program got extraordinary encouragement and symphaty from local people, villages, schools, and social leaders. The learning counseling activity was going on for 3 months from September 1 to November 29, 2014. Based on the test analysis, it was found that learning group formation by providing learning counseling could give significant influence which could be shown in that the mean of the posttest was higher than that of pretest for the students of elementary, junior, and senior schools at villages Bandungrejosari and Bakalankrajan kecamatan Sukun Malang.

Abstract Using digital tools for teaching allows to unburden teachers from organizational load and even provides qualitative improvements that are not achieved in traditional teaching. Algorithmically supported learning group formation aims at optimizing group composition so that each learner can achieve his or her maximum learning gain and learning groups stay stable and productive. Selecting and weighting relevant criteria for learning group formation is an interdisciplinary challenge. This contribution presents the status quo of algorithmic approaches and respective criteria for learning group formation. Based on this theoretical foundation, we describe an empirical study that investigated the influence of distributing two personality traits (conscientiousness and extraversion) either homogeneously or heterogeneously on subjective and objective measures of productivity, time investment, satisfaction, and performance. Results are compared to an earlier study that also included motivation and prior knowledge as criteria. We find both personality traits to enhance group satisfaction and performance when distributed heterogeneously.
