Promoting Flexible Learning Trajectories through an Innovative Educational Framework

This presentation explores the Dutch Framework of Educational Concepts (FEC), designed to enhance flexibility in curriculum development. By allowing teachers to select the best learning materials without being confined to traditional textbooks, the framework leverages open educational resources and promotes personalized learning paths. It highlights the importance of detailed curriculum concepts as a backbone for educational resources, and encourages school management to negotiate for the best quality materials at competitive prices. Find out how metadata plays a critical role in improving the accessibility and organization of educational content.

  1. Vision / what we want • Flexible, student-centriclearningtrajectories • The teacher beingabletochoose the best learningmaterials – no lock-into the textbooks, but leveraging the textbooks • Schoolmanagement cannegotiateto get the best learningmaterialsfor the best price ES SIG wg 01-03-2012

  2. After EDRENE / The Hague + Poitiers • We thoughtto have a (then) vague plan • We continued the road we foresaw ……. • We become more en more convincedthis is the plan … anditbecomes more and more clear ES SIG wg 01-03-2012

  3. 5 ingredientstoflexibilisethe curriculum + + + + ES SIG wg 01-03-2012

  4. 5 ingredientstoflexibilise the curriculum • Framework of educationalconcepts • Detailed curriculum concepts => backbone of textbooks / (open) learninglines • Linked data-technology • Mixingopen content / textbooks • ‘Business models’ forpublishers, schools, teachers ES SIG wg 01-03-2012

  5. Presentationsfrom NL • On the Dutch Framework of educationalconcepts (Henk) • (detailed) Curriculum as backbone for the selection of learning materials (Allard) • Mixing open content & publisher’s textbooks (Leonie) • Business cases (Henk) • Linked data-beta experiments ES SIG wg 01-03-2012

  6. Framework of educationalconcepts- curriculum in the Dutch clouds Kennisnet (EDRENE – May 2012) Henk Nijstad, Kennisnet

  7. Agenda • What is this Framework • Why do you want it? • What does it have to do withourcurrent services likeEdurep? • What does itcontain? Kennisnet (ECK) Klantendag 12 april 2012

  8. Synonyms Framework of educationalconcepts • ‘FEC’ Onderwijs Begrippenkader • OBK Kennisnet (ECK) Klantendag 12 april 2012

  9. Message of thispresentation: Thisframework of concepts (‘FEC’) • forms the new basis forvocabulariesto tag & findlearningobjects • Provides a solution forexisting bottlenecks withmetadata: durablemetadata • Enables the next step towardscreating(semi-) automatic metadata Kennisnet (ECK) Klantendag 12 april 2012

  10. Metadata: the gasoline forour Kennisnet-services likeEdurep Kennisnet (ECK) Klantendag 12 april 2012

  11. Metadata: Achilles heel • Far toolittlemetadata • Goodquality (curriculum-relation) ? • Whoadds the metadata • Expensive! • Expertise! • Versioning / problemswithdurability Kennisnet (ECK) Klantendag 12 april 2012

  12. Examples of problemswithmetadata:1. unambiguousof concepts • Same concepts have in different vocabulaires a different name, cannotberelated taal Nederlandse taal ? The same? Nederlands Kennisnet (ECK) Klantendag 12 april 2012

  13. Examples of problemswithmetadata:2. Frequent (yearly) changes in vocabulaires (because of politics / law) • Oftenonly a few terms change • However the complete vocabulaire shouldbereplaced • mappingneeded • Every tool (search portal ándrepository) should change tothis new vocabulaire Term 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5” 5 6 Term 6 2009 2010 Kennisnet (ECK) Klantendag 12 april 2012

  14. We shouldfind a smarter way …we need the next step! The framework of educationalconcepts!! Kennisnet (ECK) Klantendag 12 april 2012

  15. Framework of EducationalConcepts (‘FEC’) Alltermsandtheirmutually relations neededtodescribeeducation, to start with the curriculum • Everytermscarefullydecomposed (Atomise) • Unambiguousdescribed(Harmonise) • Richdescribed(Describe) • Relations betweenterms (Relate) Kennisnet (ECK) Klantendag 12 april 2012

  16. What kind of conceptscanbe found in the FEC? Curriculum descriptions / terms! • Subjects / learningdomains • Learning level (f.e. European framework of reference • Learning objectives • Detailedachievementstandards: • Secundary & vocational • (detail) competenciesand skills • ….

  17. We wereinspiredbyinternationaldevelopments Peer-countrieslike: • USA: Achievement Standards Network • Sweden: ‘Curriculum in the Cloud’ • France • EUN

  18. Right now in The Nederlands • ‘Framework’ is controlledby EduStandaard • Open procedure, broad support • May 10th the Framework willbefilledwith the first sets (vocabulaires) • Kennisnet-services likeEdurepandMetaPluswillbe FEC-proofbefore the summer (‘FEC-based vocabulaires’ ES SIG wg 01-03-2012

  19. Why is the Framework a smart idea?

  20. Why is the Framework a smart idea? 1. The sameterms get 1 uniqueid taal Nederlandse taal Id. = 12skr56789 Nederlands 1 Unique, durableid 3 denotations

  21. Why is the Framework a smart idea?2. Changes in vocabularies • Onlychangingtermsneedtobereplaced, not the complete vocabulary • Durabilityguaranteedbecause of the relation 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5” 5 6 6 2009 2010

  22. Whyis the Framework a smart idea? • Framework in combinationwithLinked Data-technologyenables(semi-) automaticallyaddingmetadata Kennisnet (ECK) Klantendag 12 april 2012

  23. Besidesfindability of learningmaterialsthere are lots of applications • Enrichment of the curriculum • Accountability • Individuallearninglines • Continuousleerningpaths • Benchmarking Kennisnet (ECK) Klantendag 12 april 2012

  24. Impact voor u? • Vocabulaires blijven op dezelfde manier te gebruiken, zowel voor zoekportals als voor repositories • Nieuw: opgebouwd uit duurzame begrippen uit het OBK • Bestaande metadata blijft bruikbaar, Edurep ondersteunt de mappings • Flexibiliteit in het samenstellen van vocabulaires Kennisnet (ECK) Klantendag 12 april 2012

  25. In summary: • The Framework of educationalconcepts: • Offers solutionsforcurrent bottlenecks withmetadata • Enables semi-automaticallyaddingmetadata….. Andotherapplications • Important currentmetadata (Edurepetc) seamleslly fits tothis new way of working Kennisnet (ECK) Klantendag 12 april 2012
