  1. -- 22 April 2010 E-Learning Environments Personalized Service-Oriented E-Learning Environments Is E-Learning Really Working? The Trillion-Dollar Question Mario Munoz-Organero, Pedro J. Munoz-Merino, Carlos Delgado Kloos • · Carlos III University of Madrid Stephen Ruth · George Mason University Anton Imhof aaimhof@mtu.edu J. Cole jacole@mtu.edu

  2. Outline • America’s Education • Quality of E-Learning • Cost Benefits • Dem Playa’s (Online Learning Providers) • Learning Management Systems (LMS) • Personal Learning Environment(PLE) • Implementation

  3. America’s Education • 1 trillion dollars annually • 27% of High School Students Fail to Graduate • 75% are unable to serve in the Military • due to academic ineligibility • U.S. has lowest percentage of graduates • among industrialized nations • College tuition increases inflation rates • Technology is part of the solution

  4. K-12 E-Learning • Roughly 1 in 20 are taking online courses • Georgia has 440 high schools, only 88 qualified physics teachers Post-Secondary Education • 1 in 4 college students are taking an online course

  5. Quality of E-Learning • “Students learn better in classrooms” • Researchers have conducted thousands of studies • no significant difference • on average students in online learning conditions perform better than those in classrooms

  6. Cost Benefits • IT Interventions produce significant reductions in unit costs

  7. Dem Playa’s • University of Maryland's University College (UMUC) • world’s largest provider of online education • forty bachelor’s and master’s programs available • University of Massachusetts • University of Phoenix • largest private university in North America • four billion dollars in annual revenue • twice the budget of the entire University of Virginia • Kaplan, Laureate, Strayer among top e-learning providers

  8. Learning Management System (Monolithic LMS) • Instructor-provided knowledge • Modular design • Uses self-service and self-guided services • Assembles and delivers learning content rapidly • A scalable web-based platform • Personalizes content • Such as Blackboard

  9. Learning Management Systems • MOODLE • Sakai • ATutor • Proprietary Models • Web CT, Blackboard, GradePoint • Blackboard and MOODLE most widely used

  10. Where Its Going… • Two families • Service oriented LMS or Personalized learning environment • Difference is central management system • Mash-up of the two makes third option

  11. Future LMS • Separation of LMS and LCMS • Provides greater interoperability • Standards currently being defined • New services can be added and used dynamically • Code can be reused across system by developers

  12. Personal Learning Environment (PLE) • Set your own learning goals • Integrated LMS-type service • Uses available internet services

  13. Mash-up • Peer-to-peer systems • More flexible than LMS

  14. Implementation • Learning Scenario: • Anytime • Anywhere

  15. Problems Presented • Requires devices to have web service server capabilities • Several middleware solutions have been designed • However…

  16. Solution Proposed • Web Service Development Middleware • J2ME MIDP Profile based on simple servlet API implementation

  17. Conclusion • Two Architectural Possibilities • E-Learning Continuing to Evolve • KBC Anyone?

  18. Questions?
