A Distributed repository implementation for molecular dynamics learning objects
No full textThe present report illustrates the implementation of a distributed repository tailored on the needs of research based education activities. The distributed repository architecture and the related software environment (tools and requirements) are described. A use case dealing with a course on Scattering and Molecular Dynamics and its applications to materials technologies is also discussed
E-studium: blended e-learning for university education support
No full textIn the changing framework of education and training, the e-studium project proposes a dynamic and versatile education system, effectively managing the learning process and using Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to respond to the specific characteristics of a variety of different degree programmes and courses and, at the same time, to the individual needs of a wide audience of students disseminated throughout Italy. The organisation model adopted in e-studium is an integrated multiple instances e-learning system. At the kernel of e-studium is MetaLearn, a software integration component which connects the different information and authentication sources, such as the academic registrar (information about students) and faculties databases (data on lecturers and programmes) with the target multiple e-learning platforms. In the experiment the MetaLearn architecture has been implemented on top of a set of target Moodle Course Management System (CMS) instances, thus realising the blended e-learning approach. In this work the main architectural features of MetaLearn and the different phases of development and implementation of the e-studium project are presented. The results also include usage analysis and a discussion on the impact of the quality of teaching on students, and on the requirements posed on the academic members who participated in the project
Progress in GLOREP development
No full textIn recent months we have progressed in developing a stable release of GLOREP [1] based on the latest version of CMS Drupal [2] by completing the porting from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7.
All the modules have been tested and work perfectly with the latest Drupal stable releases.
The first module we have updated is LinkableObject [3]. In addition we have worked on Collabrep, SearchLO [4] and TaxAssistant [5,6] modules
and we have implemented a new module called Moodledata that allows downloading files from the Moodle [7] server and then their uploading on GLOREP.
Several tests have been made in order to extend the federation to the University of Genoa [8].
In particular we have tested all the features of GLOREP, by the simple creation of the repository to the joining to an existing federation through the creation and downloading of the Learning Objects; the system is at present stable and ready to use
Mathematics Divide: an educational software for learning division in the primary school
No full textThis paper describes the realization of an application, that suggests the use of new technologies ICT to respond to the particular needs of students of the last two classes of primary school. The goal is to develop a software fun and interactive, responding to the syllabus [Syllabus 2008] proposed by MIUR (Ministero dell'Istruzione, dell'Università e della Ricerca) [MIUR 2010], a the guidelines and standards of usability and accessibility, explaining in a simple way the math division
Mobile Device Access to Collaborative Distributed Repositories of Chemistry Learning Objects
No full textThe educational open contents are having a very strong impact in research and training activities. In this paper we discuss the use of Internet to supply educational contents in open and free formats from distributed repositories containing educational and scientific resources. Starting from an existing federation of distributed repositories (G-Lorep) [1] and working on parameters defined by apps, we extended their functionalities to allow mobile devices access. The structure of the access, search, selection, download, use/reuse functions needed to manage learning objects on distributed repositories have also been revisited for adaptation to mobile use
Blended e-Learning: Survey of On-line Student Assessment
No full textThe e-studium project (https://estudium.unipg.it/) has experimented the introduction of blended e-learning course support in heterogeneous courses of University of Perugia.
The assessment process in the e-studium project consists of two main stages: first students apply for an exam through and additional module purposely developed for e-studium, and integrated in the basic platform; then online exam tests are delivered to the candidate which interacts with a quiz management module.
In this paper we report and analyze data collected in the two year period 2007-2008, and referring to four Computer Science
course exams. Data about exam enrollment, test assessment, number of attempts and time needed for test completion have
been analyzed. A comparative time-related analysis has been carried out for the four course exams, relationships between teaching and learning activities performed over the platform have been investigated, and used to evaluate the effectiveness of
the proposed approach within an academic setting
