Objective
Tools for developing ICT based courses in open learning platforms have two structural problems:
1. Course development tools are restricitive and provide insufficient guidance for Training centres to develop quality and personalised interactive courses;
2. No standard methodology and tool is available that enables Training Centres in different language areas to co-operate in course development.
The CODEX-IP project overcomes these problems by developing a cost effective tool and methodology that enables the development and maintenance of language independent re-usable learning objects to be distributed within IP based open learning platforms (Action line III.3.1 Open Platforms and tools for Personalised learning). RTD will provide insight in best practice learning models for collaborative interactive learning as a basis to develop an innovative model (baded on exemplary learning) and web based development toolset (integrated workflow, authoring and machine translation).
OBJECTIVES
Tools for developing ICT based courses are found in open learning platforms such as Sybase Next Generation Learning and Lotus Learning Space. Two structural problems exist:
1.Course development tools are either too restrictive(e.g. can only be used if connected to specific databases of the relevant learning space)or provide insufficient guidance for Training Centres to develop high quality and highly personalised interactive training courses;
2.No standard development methodology and tool is available that enable Training Centres throughout Europe to co-operate in developing training courses for deployment in different language areas. The Codex-IP project overcomes these problems by developing a cost effective toolset and methodology that enable training ceneres to develop and maintain language independent re-usable learning objects to be distributed within IP based open learning platforms (Action line III);
3.1 Open Platforms and tools for personalised learning).
DESCRIPTION OF WORK
Codex-IP will perform RTD to obtain further insight in best practice learning models for collaborative interactive learning.
This provides the basis to develop:
- An innovative learning model (based on exemplary learning);
- A methodology to structure ICT based courses derived from the new learning model;
- A (blueprint for a) new development process for the collaborative development of re-usable learning objects between training centres in different language areas;
- A completely new integrated development environment based on the new learning model and development methodology. The innovation is the development of three building blocks and their integration, an authoring tool to support all phases in the development process, a common database (structure) to store and retrieve re-usable learning objects and modules and a Memory Based Translation Engine; a newly developed concept in language engineering.
It will support the identification and development of re-usable learning objects and modules in a trannational and multilingual environment.
The Codex-IP project will be executed by a multidisciplinary consortium. Two renowned institutes on didactical research will perform the RTD on learning models; the Kohnstamm institute (NL) and the FORTH research cntre (EL). A developer of open learning platforms, SPC Groep (NL), will develop the new environment for the collaborative design and development of re-usable learning objects together with Lernout & Hauspie (B). The latter will be responsible for the interation of the language technology. The blueprint for the collaborative development process will be tested at a group of 3 European training centres, SPC Training (NL), Professional training (E) and Trefz (D). The resulting course material based on the newexemplary learning model will be tested and didactically validated at trial groups (a multinational and an SME); Minolta (D) and Datatel (E).
