eLearningConstructing New Environments
for Learning
Manuel Ortega, Pedro P. Sánchez-Villalón, Asunción Sánchez-Villalón, Celina de Diego
ICT• Technologies in learning …
– allow participants to access information – facilitate communication – mainly through the Web
Improvement? New ‘technologies can help us engage learners in active, constructive, intentional, authentic, and cooperative learning’ (Jonassen, 1999).
Paradigmatic ChangeShift from • the teaching-centred, receptive knowledge
acquisition process, – to -
• more active, knowledge construction experience centred on learners
Change in pedagogical foundations :– roles, environment & scenarios, centres, means, – new kinds of information, contents, disciplines. – learning process: new learning strategies
Technologies influence learning• Technology features:
– Ubiquity (of information & of devices) Weiser, 1991– Collaboration enabling (communities of practice)– In authentic context (situated learning)– Interaction (fluent communication)
• Methodological principles, pedagogical design
Engagement theory (Kearsley & Shneiderman, 1998)
“Relate, Create, Donate” learning by creating,
Students should participate in their learning design, (Britain & Liber, 1999, 2004)
European eLearning Program (2001) establishes competences:– general (‘savoir’, ‘savoir-être’, ‘savoir-faire’ & ‘savoir-
apprendre’ -> learning to learn). – specific to each discipline.
• Experimental Sciences: 'can-do' or ‘know-how’ skills problem solving activities or simulations:
• Humanities: skills to cope with real life situations, developing creative thinking,
• CEF: competences for language learning– Integrating skills: linguistic, sociolinguistic & pragmatic components
Speaking, Writing, Listening & Reading
Competences
Language e-Learning strategies
• CALL (Computer-assisted language learning)• Web Resources. TELL & WELL • Ubiquitous access to information anywhere anytime.
Textual & multimedia information.• Communicate (Interact) by reacting to information:
– Initially with forms, (interactivity)– by writing in forums or chatting– New technologies for writing on the Web, such as
blogging and wikis. • AWLA & AIOLE (online learning environments)
AWLA: A Writing eLearning ApplianceAWLA: A Writing eLearning Appliance A learning resource to write on the Web.
• Aim:to learn how to write by writing • on a blended learning environment• allowing ubiquitous collaboration.• centred on learning design, which
provides updatable description, instructions and links to external/internal materials (PBL).
• access to communication: Chat• and reference language tools
(a grammar parser, a lexicon, Wordnet , online dictionaries, Google search, images).
Changing roles: •Teacher as a guide•Students as creators
Users (learners) access facilities◄ Easy entrance to the Website◄ Easy, fast access to reading, writing and saving text information
◄ Collaboration (New Idea)◄ Convertible to Word format Access to corrected version ◄ Editable with images (multimedia)
Permanent display of the task ------------►
Access to additional contents ► ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲ ▲Access to language tools (menu)Access to communication facility: Chat based on the task channel

- Reading as browsing (as usual) - Involving writing as interaction)
- Text, images, video or audio
- Mutiple Choice Quizzes or Matching Exercises

Kinds of Activities:
AIOLE-CIVIEramus:AIOLE-CIVIEramus: AWLA integrationAWLA (A Writing Learning Appliance)AWLA (A Writing Learning Appliance)- Learn to write by writing anywhere anytime on the Web- Task-based (scenarios)- with Tutors correction (similar to traditional)
Language eLearning with AWLA & AIOLELanguage eLearning with AWLA & AIOLE• Writing practice & communication (interaction) helps to
internalize information, to build knowledge, learning a language by developing communicative skills:– Reading, Listening, and Writing online– Speaking (oral interaction) in face-to-face sessions
» BLENDED LEARNING
– Blended learning (where the teacher is essential)• using content, quizzes & access to information (CAI)• Writing process, based on tasks: TELL learning design scenarios• Adaptable to disciplines, languages, levels• Ideal for Lifelong Learning and CLIL
