eQNet presentation Presentation Transcript

Using and discovering learning resources across contexts: eQnet Dr. Riina Vuorikari May 21, 2010 Brussels

About learning resources

Can learning resources really be reused by teachers from different countries?

what makes them travel well?

how can they be found and shared easily?

eQNet teachers network

«Travel well» learning resources

Sharing and reuse of digital learning resources are the drivers of a “learning object economy”

Economy of scale: “if we all share the content, production costs per unit go down”

-> Sharing learning resources metadata to improve reuse

Did anyone ask: “Do teachers think learning resources from a country other than their own are useful for education?

Why digital learning resources ?

Context = country, language, educational system, curriculum...

We have gained understanding that some content is more useful than other..

e.g. science, cross-curriculum topics, language learning

Can resources cross contexts?

Where to find « travel well » attributes? 2. Easyness to find the resource (e.g. metadata & searchability) 4. Actual use of resources (e.g. evidence that LO is used in different contexts) 1. Creating resources (e.g. visual, easy translation, language independent,..) 3. Selecting « travel well » resources (e.g. personal choice vs. based on criteria) Gut feeling?

Search for «travel well» attributes (1)

Checklists on quality of learning resources, technical aspects, usability, ....

Finding multilingual resources (2)

This is what the end user sees

Discovering learning resources

across language boundaries is challenging!

Main problem: the resource & its metadata description are made in a different context from where

the resource is discovered and/or actually used

One part of the problem

Learning resources

from

different countries

in different languages do not cross-reference via hyperlinks!

Not applicable! The other part of the problem

Add a rating Add a tag Easiness to find resources: can tags help?

Social tags make digital trails visible! by Stiphy

Stigmergy

Multiple ways to find resources

eQnet teachers network (10 countries)

Collections of « travel well » resources

Austria Hungary Finland Resource that «Travels well» Tags create links between users in different countries (and languages)

Spanish resource Tag «interactive» Finnish resource Slovakian resource Tags create links between content in different languages
