Title- Development and evaluation of an Authoring Tool Taxonomy

Abstract- The task of choosing an authoring tool for creating digital instructional materials is becoming complex, since the amount of possibilities are daily increasing. In this sense this paper presents the development an evaluation of an authoring tool taxonomy constructed in compliance with ANSI/NISO Z39.19 international standard. The taxonomy classified over 400 tools and was published in a website and was evaluated by 135 professionals of distance learning community through a questionnaire. The results showed the validity and usefulness of the taxonomy and pointed out the pertinence of the classification strategy.

Title- M-learning tool for teaching structured programming in the first courses in Engineering

Abstract- This article presents an experience based on the use of an m-learning application in the higher education. The application aims at learning of control sentences in structured programming languages. The objective of this experience is to determine the degree of acceptance and use of m-learning tools among our students, and the perception they have about how this kind of tools helps them to reach their learning goals. The application offers learning activities to students and allows teachers to monitor the students’ work and detect the programming structures where they find more difficulties. Students receive immediate feedback about their work.

Title- Integrated Infrastructure for Ubiquitous Learning.

Abstract- Mobile learning is a reality. However, ubiquitous learning approaches are not at this level of maturity, lacking proposals that aiming at providing its practical use. This paper presents a proposal for ubiquitous learning, which employs the paradigm of Ontology-Based Data Access (OBDA) for solving problems related to data integration and access of data sources in complex structures. OBDA techniques are explored to allow access and mapping of contextual data and their integration into a student’s context aware semantic model. The applicability of this proposal is evaluated through a case study with an e-learning environment and a middleware for ubiquitous computing.

Title- Proposal of a Learning Organization Tool with Support for Metacognition.

Abstract- Building and using a Personal Learning Environment is challenging and requires the students to have their metacognitive skills developed. Many students need help to develop these skills, to learn how to manage and evaluate their learning process in order to improve it. We designed an organizer with metacognitive support to help users meeting their learning goals. Here we propose: i) embedding learning strategies to support metacognitive learning, ii) a learning strategies recommender, iii) our vision of a Learning Analytics module for learners to support learning awareness and the reflection process, iv) our solution for recommendations based on tag relationships, tag enrichment and folksonomies.

Title- Modeling the Collaborative Instructional Framework CIF for LMSs by Using Educational Modeling Languages.

Abstract- Nuestro trabajo se enmarca en el dominio del aprendizaje colaborativo basado en el uso de lenguajes formales educativos para modelar la instrucción. En trabajos previos, hemos desarrollado y experimentado con un marco instruccional colaborativo guiado por objetivos educativos basado en el nivel de Análisis de la Taxonomía de Bloom denominado CIF (Collaborative Instruction Framework). Como soporte computacional para CIF hemos desarrollado una herramienta colaborativa llamada MoCAS (Mobile Collaborative Argument Support). En experimentación realizada con CIF se ha detectado la necesidad de modelar CIF formalmente para su utilización en un entorno informático que permita una mayor difusión que la actual herramienta MoCAS. El objetivo de este trabajo es extender CIF para que sea portable, interoperable con aplicaciones externas, aplicable sobre LMSs (Learning Management Systems) mediante el soporte de estándares educativos y utilizable en cualquier dominio o materia de aprendizaje. Por tanto, presentamos el modelado formal del marco instruccional colaborativo CIF mediante estándares de IMS (Intelligent Manufacturing System) con las herramientas de autor Reload LD y con Moodle.
