Dialectics of TEL system evolution THESIS: mainstream TEL systems today are LMS (e.g. Moodle) ANTITHESIS: innovators among academic staff are radically opposing LMS and propose using PLE and social media instead SYNTHESIS: new quality, taking the best from both worlds. Digital Learning Ecosystem? Disruptive technology (iTunes, iPad) appears often as a result of synthesis

Digital Learning Ecosystem Ecosystem (biol.) is a community of living organisms (plants, animals and microbes) in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment (e.g. air, water, light and soil), interacting as a system. Nutricion cycle, energy flow, self-regulation DLE is an adaptive socio-technical system consisting of mutually interacting digital agents (tools, services, content used in learning process) and communities of users (learners, facilitators, trainers, developers) together with their social, economical and cultural environment.

Methodology: research-based design  Iterative, three dialectic cycles  Phases in the 3rd cycle: contextual inquiry, participatory design, production, action research (testing Dippler in 2 MA courses) 3.3. Participatory 1.2. Participatory 2.2. Participatory 3.2. Updated action research ped. framework design design1.3. Evaluation 2.3. Case studies Blog-based Dippler IVA LMS 3.4. Generic ped.

Dippler as DLE Core services (digital specimen): BackOffice (BOS wsdl), Wordpress as PLE, Learning Object Repository, online testing service Questr, institutional client, mobile clients Secondary services: social media (SlideShare, YouTube), identity management (to come: concept mapping, 6 thinking hats) User communities: learners, facilitators, administrative staff, software developers Adaptive: institutions and users can expand and adapt the ecosystem Self-regulation: users can change affiliation, design learning paths Learning analytics: annotating with domain-specific categories

Conclusion Conceptual framework for Digital Learning Ecosystems as the next-generation TEL systems Illustrated by a case study: design and development of Dippler (Distributed Portfolio-based Personal Learning Ecosystem) Research-based design approach, followed by action research The next steps: enhancing adaptivity and self- regulation of Dippler DLE, pedagogical model
