The Web

This chapter analyzes the present situation of telecollaboration processes in synchronous online learning environments. The Web RTC protocol is presented as a new tool for online videoconferencing and telecollaboration that may potentially change the already in use applications for such purposes. In this vein, its characteristics such as P2P connectivity, open source protocol, no plugins installation, scalability, and accessibility guarantee that this technological development will help enhance the learning process at different levels. Higher institutions and practitioners will particularly benefit from the use of this technology as its use will increase cross-cultural knowledge as well as expand students' opportunities for out-of-class tuition.

This chapter discusses the principles underpinning the design and the development of a framework, MobiGlam, which supports ubiquitous and scalable access to learning activities. The framework allows full end to end interconnectivity among open source virtual learning environments (VLEs) and Java-enabled mobile devices. Through this framework, interoperability and adaptivity techniques are combined to address the technical, pedagogical, and institutional challenges of mobile learning. The discussed framework achieved a level of flexibility and simplicity that resulted in a wide acceptance of the framework institutionally, allowing its use in various real world settings.

Specific Scenario

This chapter is an evaluation of the efficiency of 3D Collaborative Virtual Learning Environments to facilitate the implementation of collaborative learning activities. Firstly, there is a presentation of the state of the art regarding open source as well as proprietary platforms. Afterwards, the use of a case study reveals issues concerning the suitability of open source Collaborative Virtual Learning Environments, rationalizing the choice of executing a collaborative learning scenario in Second Life. The specific scenario is then presented culminating in evaluation results related to the appropriateness of Second Life with regards to its technical and pedagogical affordances. Finally, students' suggestions and reactions towards such a novel didactical approach are discussed.
