  1. Running a Unit of Learning in CopperCore Colin Tattersall, The Open University of the Netherlands

  2. Alfanet (IST-2001-33288) • Active Learning for Adaptive Internet (5th Framework) • Adaptation is about creating a user experience that purposely adjusts to various conditions (personal characteristics, pedagogical knowledge, the learner interactions, the outcome of the actual learning processes) over a period of time with the intention to increase pre-defined success criteria (score, time, economical costs, user satisfaction) • Adaptation in aLFanet operates on a combination of: • knowledge of the user LIP • knowledge of the contents MD • an explicit design LD • formal progress QTI • actual user interactions

  3. ALFANET General Architecture (I)

  4. Groove Collaboration Environment External .Net Components Groove XML Forms Environment Unit of Learning Editor Windows Forms and User Interface .Net Components User Modelling Prespecification Learning Resource Editing .Net Framework Learning Design .Net Logic Components XML Editor & Schema/DTD Validator Authoring Tool • Enables authors to create courses and/or Units of Learning that conform to the ALFANET LMS • Gives learning designers the ability to create pedagogical-instructional models

  5. Example template Inductive presentation (template guidelines) ·    Inductive presentation requires presenting first a number of possible examples and then giving a definition of the concept. ·      - The examples should be as diverse as possible to allow learner to generalize. They should represent the full range of cases that the learner will encounter after the instruction. ·       - Begin with easy examples so learners can master the activity and build confidence. - End with ………………………..

  7. What is CopperCore? • Open source IMS Learning Design engine capable of processing units of learning. • Hides complexity of IMS LD for developers wishing to incorporate IMS LD into their products. • Does not provide any user interface. Not a stand alone product. • Uses XML for data exchange with clients • XML format resembles IMS LD as closely as possible • Uses properties as main data storage mechanism

  8. Portal Learningservices LD Player Run tool Repository Authoring Learner & Staff Administration CopperCore positioning Learner & staff details Unit of Learning Unit ofLearning Run CopperCore Design time Run time

  9. CopperCore APIs • CopperCore provides three API’s • CourseManager: provides administrative functions • users, runs, roles, publications • LDEngine: provides run-time behavior • activity trees, environment trees, content, completions • Timer: triggers timed events • various timed completions • CopperCore provides one library • Validation: provides validation routine for an LD manifest • IMS LD manifest files

  10. CopperCore presentation layer CopperCore email CopperCore timer trigger upload index/search validation conferencing content server CopperCore Integration CopperCore 3 APIs

  11. CopperCore Environment • Developed in Java using JBuilder9, can be deployed on any J2EE application server • Tested: Borland Enterprise Server 5.2.1 and JBoss 3.2.1 • Can use any relational database • Tested with PostgreSQL 7.3 and MS SQL Server 2000 • Runs on Linux and MS-Windows • Tested with Windows XP/2000 and SuSe Linux (kernel 2.4.20) • CopperCore version 1.0 available via SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/coppercore) • Today: level B. Upgrading to level C
