Abstract

An important part of the articles published in the last years highlight teaching and learning approaches and technologies integrated in complex applications and present the concepts used for creating and presenting the educational content. They refer to the methodologies used in self-and collaborative learning, including problem-and project-based learning. The assessment process is also illustrated in several articles but there is no a generic framework that complies with the rules of both formal and non-formal education acts. Our proposal is focused on advanced concepts for improving the educational services and the manner a generic framework for blended learning can be customized for higher education and lifelong learning. In addition, the paper proposes a virtual collaboration prototype that supports interpersonal and inter-process collaborative learning services that can be used as core of any rapidly growing educational community.

Highlights

  • A lot of research has been done in learning area, most of them regard the educational processes and activities

  • Most of the teachers involved in the pilot project (75%) are experienced with the novel methodologies for creating and delivering the educational content in collaborative learning, as well as the use of such innovative teaching technologies as online tuition or webinar tools, course authoring, video and screen recording, annotation instruments

  • A Romanian software company plans to implement a multimedia hub that provides with high definition (HD) capabilities

Summary

Introduction

A lot of research has been done in learning area, most of them regard the educational processes and activities. [1] The special forms of education such as lifelong learning, especially training and career development, consist of complex activities that promote in a crossed way the knowledge retention in the cognitive domain, as well as skills in the psychomotor domain When it involves groups or learners, the scope of knowledge building expands to the relational/social domain. The article highlights the Web 2.0 approach in the e-service environments, especially e-learning area, it describes the open architecture adapted to the requirements of a generic collaborative learning framework that works properly in different domains It illustrates how Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) tools improve the knowledge building process and what kind of solutions should be adopted in order to avoid the CSCL weaknesses. The authors underline the importance of cloud computing paradigms in creating and sustaining the virtual educational organizations that include different educational/training institutions in Romania and abroad
