Abstract

In the e-learning field, there is an urgent need for the sharing, reuse and design of online courses as learning objects. However, in the vast majority of cases, e-learning courses are built in a manner that not stimulating cooperation, interaction, and collaborative learning. The primary aim of this paper is to develop a strategy for constructing learning objects, strategy targeted at supporting instructors in designing educational contents in order to promote collaborative learning in e-learning environments. A key challenge in this work is the definition of a new method of learning design of e-learning contents to stimulate collaborative learning. In addition, we introduce a general model of online and collaborative learning design. Model is based on the methods of instructional design and Educational Modeling Languages, particularly the IMS-LD specification. Firstly, the paper presents the online and collaborative design process of a content based on a life cycle adapted. Then, the paper describes the steps of the modeling process of content. Finally, the paper exposes the adopted technical choices and a first prototype is set up to provide a subjective evaluation of the new framework.

Highlights

  • Today, the pedagogical possibilities made possible by digital technologies constituting a main lever for the modernization of practices of e-learning

  • Conceptual structure The general structure of the proposed Online and Collaborative Learning Design model of e-learning courses is based on two complementary parts: 1/ design part, which is done in collaboration between the various actors according to the V life cycle; and 2/ development part, to create units of learning as learning objects compatible with Instructional Management Systems-Learning Design (IMS-LD) format

  • We have presented a general model for Online and Collaborative Learning Design based on IMS-LD specification

Summary

Introduction

The pedagogical possibilities made possible by digital technologies constituting a main lever for the modernization of practices of e-learning. The work presented in this paper fits in the light of these findings It relates of the work on learning design and is focuses mainly on the processes of design of e-learning contents by means of reusable and interoperable Learning Objects (LO). To promote collaborative learning, this work proposes a model based on socioconstructivism approach, for developing structured learning content and methodically developed, for an e-learning platform. This work propose to implement an online and collaborative learning design model to modeling pedagogical contents as units of learning adapted to the IMS-LD (Learning Design) format. This work highlights the role of learning content in an e-learning platform In this context, a literature review of methods and models of LD was presented, especially the IMS-LD specification, on which this work is based. The paper proceeds to describe the technological choices to implement the model and concludes with prospects of this research
