Learning Design: the "French touch"

in Learning Design Summit, Wednesday November 8th, 2006, Heerlen - Open University Netherlands

Over the last few years, the cultural or social characteristics of the French educational system have led researchers in different scientific fields to address the question of Learning Design. The aims of this presentation are (1) to present the main questions addressed by the French community around the concept of learning scenarios, (2) to describe existing solutions (models, projects, implementations) and (3) to link these works to current IMS Learning Design challenges.

A demo of Learning Design Language and Learning Design Infrastructure
LDL (Learning Design Language) is an EML (Educational Modeling Language) proposed by the Scenario Team of SysCom Laboratory (Université de Savoie, France), in collaboration with Pentila Corporation (www.pentila.com) and the Arcade team of LIG Laboratory (Universités de Grenoble, France). LDL is particularly well adapted to collaborative activities modeling. LDI (Learning Design Infrastructure) is the associated infrastructure for the implementation and execution of the learning activities. A demo of LDI and its associated player will be done on a widespread collaborative activity modeled in LDL.

The Learning Design Summit will discuss and explore the latest uses of IMS Learning Design Specification. Presentations of products and programs currently using Learning Design will be given as well as an panel session where industry leaders in Learning Design will share their thoughts on the current state of the art and where LD is headed. Join us for a riveting day long event!
