The Baseline for LD set by SCORM

•  Free Choice •  Linear Sequences •  Networked Sequences •  Hierarchical Designs

ADL  Tools  

The Hybrid Learning Design Model can get used as a Tool for Educational Storylines

Learning design as a form of arranging learning activities

Our LD Patterns focus on the Transitions between Learning Activities

Revisit the SCORM Patterns

•  Free Choice – implicit •  Linear Sequences – easy •  Networked Sequences – hard •  Hierarchical Designs – confusing

Learning Design Patterns for Extended Blended Learning

•  Preparation Pattern •  Growth Pattern •  Integration Pattern (learners integrate

knowledge) •  Specialization Pattern •  Exploration Pattern

All Patterns have been modeled with Ilias LMS and Mobler Cards (unless indicated otherwise)

Basic preparation Lorem ipsum …

Lorem  ipsum  …  

A  ques%on  pool  is  open  un%l  the  main  course  starts  

Homework for face-to-face classes

Lorem ipsum … Lorem ipsum … Lorem ipsum …

Every  week  a  new  ques%on  pool  replaces  the  old  ones  

The Flipped Classroom

Lorem ipsum … Lorem ipsum … Lorem ipsum …

AMer  every  session  new  exercises  

are  ac%vated  that  are  discussed  during  the  next  session  

Basic Growth Pattern

E.1+2+3+4  

More  exercises  become  available  with  every  completed  chapter  

Basic Integration Pattern

Each  par%cipant  gets  specific  

exercises,  the  group  synthesizes  the  knowledge  

Lorem ipsum … Online  Test  

General  exercises  are  available  to  all  

Special  professional    learning  needs    

Basic Specialization Pattern

Teachers and Trainers can implement and control these patterns directly from within ILIAS using the built-in content editor, role management, and access-rules

The Key Challenge

How to connect these activity patterns across several ADL-tools?

Limitations •  High payload built into XAPI streams

•  Not really optimized for mobile apps •  Unnecessary exposure of user data (shadow LMS)

•  XAPI still bound to a client-server architecture •  Missing filters and triggers

•  Avoid implicit models such as found in IMS Simple Sequencing

•  Unclear how main activity stream should get filtered in practice (e.g. for course facilitators and students)

•  TLA is unspecified at a functional level (yet) •  Missing process model
