Communication and Dissemination Strategy for ICOPER

Content-Development Methodologies Survey (D4.1)

Most content development in the ICOPER community institutions is still driven by ‘first use’ design, rather than by ‘reuse’ principles, a ICOPER study conducted by the UK Open University shows. The study is a deliverable coming out of the ICOPER work package on Content Development & Reuse led by the UK Open University.

Report on specifications for Assessment and Evaluation (D6.1)

This reports looks into the existing standards for assessment and evaluation and their usage in Europe. In particular is the QTI specification from IMS analysed.

ISURE: Model for describing learning needs and learning opportunities taking context ontology modelling into account (D2.2)

Nowadays, the management and interoperability of data about learning outcomes (knowledge, skill and competence) are of high importance for both education and employment sectors. By managing and sharing data about their profiles, learners in higher education and lifelong learning can better plan their careers and enhance their employability potential. In order to achieve this goal, the information about learning outcomes associated to units of learning as well as the learning outcomes achieved by learners need to be captured, stored and exchanged in a common format.

Report on the Standardized Description of Instructional Models (D3.1)

The report from the ICOPER work package on Instructional Modelling is exploring how instructional models could be described in a standardised way. How could good teaching practice in instructional modelling be captured and evaluated; and what are the potentials of standard as IMS Learning Design to support these activities? The report presents a Framework for Good Teaching Practice that uses an Educational Taxonomy to classify Teaching Methods and Units of Learning (which are contextualised examples of good teaching practice).

Report on technical basis of IMS Learning Design to combine instructional models with collaboration services and rich media (open) content (D5.1)

This report from the ICOPER work package on Learning Delivery explores the technical basis of IMS Learning Design in order to be able to combine instructional models with collaboration services and rich media (open) content. The report analyses IMS Learning Design, IMS Common Cartridge, SCORM, and other standards.

1st Report on ICOPER Living Lab activities: consulting, communities, contribution to standards, forums and other networking activities (D9.2a)

This report describes the ICOPER Living Lab, that per January 2010 consists of the following components: Standards under study in ICOPER • Links to eContent repositories and the ICOPER Open Content Space • Social Networking linking e-learning experts • Communities of Practice and SIGs • Information about ICOPER events and other related news • ISUREs (ICOPER Suitability Reports for Better Practice), publishable research results, roadmap

Envisaged future states report – user requirements and future scenarios (D8.5)

The report “ Envisaged future states report – user requirements and future scenarios” is the first step towards an ICOPER roadmap for outcome-based learning. The report invites to a discussion on three themes: • What is the context of outcome-based learning in Europe? • What signals on the horizon could potentially change this context? • And what is the desired future The results of these discussions will feed further gap analysis where the aim is to assess how to achieve desired futures states for outcome-based learning.

1st Report on ICOPER Institute training measures: courses, seminars, workshops, catalogue of learning resources and reference materials (D9.1a)

This report summarises the training activities of the first year of the ICOPER project and reports plan for rest of the project (which ends Spring 2011).

Open ICOPER Content Space Implementation of 1st Generation of Open ICOPER Content Space including Integration Mini Case Studies (D1.1)

The Open ICOPER content space (OICS) has been defined as the umbrella combining a portfolio of interoperable repositories, content and tools, as as a test bed for the specifications and standards that will be included in the ICOPER reference model. This report describes the prototype (available at http://test1.km.co.at/OpenICS); its technical architecture; and the content that has been successfully imported. The findings of this prototype development will be used to develop a new generation of the OICS middle layer API for bringing together services for competency-based learning.

ISURE: Model for describing learning needs and learning opportunities taking context ontology modelling into account (D2.2)

This report introduces a data model for capturing information that enables management and exchange of personal data on achieved learning outcomes. The Personal Achieved Learning Outcomes (PALO) schema describes the relations between achieved learning outcomes, context where outcomes are achieved or applied, and evidence records of the obtained learning outcomes. Information on level entities like proficiency level of learner mastering for the learning outcomes are also captured. The PALO schema was built on the basis of the learning needs and opportunities concepts introduced in ICOPER deliverable D2.1.

iSURE: Quality control and Web 2.0 technologies report (D4.2)

This reports addresses the use of Web 2.0 technologies and associated quality control mechanisms within the iCOPER best practice community. It aims to outline the key topics and associated standards and specifications found in this community. These illustrate a set of best practice issues for developing educational resources open for remixing and repurposing, tailored to a European dimension.

Guidelines for the integration of instructional models with open educational content in IMS Learning Design (D5.2)

This report provides guidelines for the integration of instructional models with open educational content in IMS Learning Design
