Background : Modales Project

Goal: design an adaptive learning system for probationary teachers, based on real practices and teacher know-how.

Course• “the air as a gas in its static and dynamic aspects: properties,

theory and applications” for different categories of probationary teachers (called PE2, PLC2 in physics)

Scenarios may change according to• Learner category, resources, distance or face to face activities,

the activity distribution among teachers, learners and computers according to learner needs and learning policies, etc.

Inquiry-Based Learning:Modales Scenario



Mobile• Multimedia brought the world into the classsroom …• Smart technologies will bring the classroom to the

world Search, presentation of information, resources …

and tools Social Networks Collaborative tools

• Blogs: reflective place • Wikis: collaborative place

Simulation, virtual worlds is a key for experiments



Cloud computing• New tools • New environments • Everyday

Personalised Environnements

Self organised But

• Hand-made• Not interoperable

Not communicatingbetween different tools

Solution is at another level

Unfortunately, Web 2.0 Tools Are Data Silos on the Web

What do we actually need?

• Use the web like a Single Global Database

Computer « Capabilities »

• Ask Complex Queries over multiples pages / web sites / data sources

• Reuse on the fly retrieved data

• to produce new web pages or new posts or etc.

• to give advices, guidance …

Linked DataWho is teaching Thermodynamics and is using a Problem-based or Project-based Learning approach in Europe?

Linked Data

Find experiments or students providing experiments

about «Thermodynamics» in Blogs AND Images

classified at least four star by Teachers in

Thermodynamics in Flickr AND appreciated by at

least four friends of mine on « Facebook » OR

« Linkedin » OR those following me on Twitter in the

last three months?

Semantic Web Technologies• Ontologies (shared vocabularies)

- OWL, RDF, RDFS …

• Linked Data- Sparql, Sparql Endpoint …

• W3C

Activity modeling and management

• Ontologies- Depend on communities of practices

• Context- Capture relevant learner context

- Retrieve relevant resources

- Recommend resources and activities

- Etc…

Future Learning Environments

Open (Cloudy) Learning Environment• Adaptation to student needs• Interoperability at Semantic Level• Common vocabularies: folksonomies / ontologies• W3C standard

Pedagogical challenges• New situated activities• New organisation/ coordination for learning• New opportunities (informal learning)
