Standard Learning

For information technology in education there is always an issue of re-usage of electronic educational resources, their transferring possibility from one virtual learning environment to another. Previously, standardized sets of files were used to serve this purpose, for example, SCORM-packages. In this article the new standard Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) is reviewed, which allows users from one environment to access resources from another environment. This makes it possible to integrate them into a single distributed learning environment that is created and shared. The article gives examples of the practical use of standard LTI in Moodle learning management system using External tool and LTI provider plugins.

Music Information

Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) uncovers a new learning space for students to start their learning in multidisciplinary subjects and provides an enormous storage for different types of learning materials. This brings not only the ease and flexibility to our learning, but also the challenges in organizing, managing, and controlling of information which is indispensable to the design of an effective online learning system. In particular, Music Information Retrieval (MIR) is an interdisciplinary science on the process of retrieving information from music related resources. Due to the unique application characteristics and various forms of music, appropriate design and application of metadata plays an important role for the MIR in such a Content Management System (CMS) as it would affect the comprehensiveness and effectiveness of the music information retrieval process. In this paper, the authors propose their ontology-based metadata scheme to address such requirements of a music VLE, based on the Dublin Core with modifications according to specific nature of the music learning materials. The metadata design of music resources aims to support students' daily music learning by providing instant and appropriate learning materials which enables cross-collection searching and enhances the sustainability of the contents over time.

Learning Management

Personalisation is a key requirement to motivate learners to use learning technology and self-paced content. Whereas most research and technologies focus on personalisation of content, this paper focuses on the personalisation of the tools and platform technologies for learning. When designing a learning environment, most organisations worked in the past on their internal business processes and content but did not focus on what the learner really does with the learning tools the organisation provided to them. Changing the perspective to the user shows, that they create today “around the organisational solutions” their own technology-enhanced learning world using a whole set of technologies: Learning management system (LMS) of the company, learning management system of a further education institution or of a university, different social network platforms, search engines, open web services in the internet like blogs or wikis, and a lot more other applications. Therefore the challenge for organisations today is how they can manage this variety of technologies by also enforcing the creativity and motivation of the users to personalise and individualise their learning environment. This paper proposes a solution by describing an architecture for a responsive and open learning environment. It delivers examples and a procedure how such a solution can be built step-by-step. The approach can be used in schools, higher education institutions, corporations or further education institutions.

Considerable Impact

Education has traditionally been conducted face-to-face, with professors performing outstanding magisterial classes in front of the learners. During the centuries, students and professors have shared the same time and same space frame. Nowadays, things are quite different. Information Technology (IT) is a reality affecting the whole education system from primary school to post-graduate education. IT has a considerable impact on the learning providers, on the learning process itself and, of course, on any agent involved in the process. The aim of this article is to explore this fascinating new learning world. To do this, we discuss the following main two elements: the plethora of terms related to virtual learning and, the dimensions of a virtual learning environment. Finally, some suggestions are made for future research in this field.

The Individual

Online Learning Space is a virtual learning environment which has evolved with the development of information technology and the continuous deepening of educational concepts. The wisdom teaching is a teaching by using teaching methods and teaching strategies rationally based on the Online Learning Space, to complete the transition from knowledge to wisdom, so that students can become intelligent talents. The wisdom teaching has two goals: to promote the individual growth and to foster innovative talents. Online Learning Space in different stages provides different support for Wisdom teaching activities, and realizes the goal of Wisdom teaching in different degrees.

O sistema Moodle de gerenciamento de ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem disponibiliza ferramentas, como relatórios e quadro de notas, destinadas ao acompanhamento da assiduidade e do progresso de alunos de cursos a distância. Entretanto, em geral, o emprego e as possibilidades dessas ferramentas são pouco discutidos. Foram investigadas, por meio de questionário on-line, as percepções de 88 tutores a distância atuantes em cursos de formação continuada de professores de dois estados brasileiros. Todos tinham ciência das ferramentas de relatórios e notas, mas alguns declararam não usá-las frequentemente. Os relatórios eram empregados, segundo os pesquisados, principalmente, para verificar a frequência de acesso dos cursistas ao ambiente virtual de aprendizagem e a realização das atividades propostas. A grande maioria indicou atribuir os graus de desempenho dos alunos com a ferramenta de notas e informou utilizá-la para comentar (feedback) as tarefas submetidas para avaliação e monitorar os desempenhos acadêmicos. Para alguns, a principal dificuldade no manuseio das ferramentas envolvia desconhecimento dos recursos. A atuação tutorial é indispensável para envolver os alunos nas atividades dos cursos. Paralelamente, para bem desempenhar suas funções, esses profissionais carecem de capacitação quanto às ferramentas disponíveis.Palavras-chave: Moodle, Relatórios, Notas, Tutor.  Case Study about the Use of Grade and Report Moodle Tools on the Pedagogical Practice of E learning Tutors of Brazilian Teacher-upgrading CoursesAbstractMoodle management system of virtual learning environment offers tools such as reports and grades, both used to verify attendance and progress of students in e learning courses. However, in general, employment and possibilities of these tools are little discussed. We investigated the perceptions of eighty eight tutors of teacher-upgrading e learning courses of two Brazilian states by on-line questionnaire. Tutors were aware of reports and grades tools, but some declared not using it. According to the subjects, reports were utilized to check the frequency of access of students to virtual learning environment and the realization of the proposed activities. Most of subjects affirmed use grades tool for assign scores achieved by students, give feedback of activities and check academic performance. Some respondents pointed out the little knowledge of tools as the main difficulty in handle it. The actions of tutors are essential to involve students in the activities of the courses. At the same time, to well perform their responsibilities, these professionals need of training about the available tools of virtual learning environment.Keywords: Moodle, Reports, Grades, Tutor.
