OVERVIEW of this part

• Introducing the technology used
• Trails and collaboration within the Colabs
  project
• Hierarchical maps of projects
• Individual knowledge maps
• Activity maps
• Further use of documentary trails for structuring
  digital and non-digital LOs

INTRODUCING

• THE TECHNOLOGY USED

5
AIMS

• Tracing students personal workflow
• Giving feedback to the students
• Offering suggestion to the most effective route
  in the material (from clusters of routes taken by
  students)
• -Creating criteria oriented personalized
  advisory paths

Individual knowledge map

• Individual map of each user shows the visited
  nodes, number of hits and time spent there, logs
  of paths taken during their visit, which are
• useful for individuals, because they can reflect
  on where they have been, what was visited, what
  was uploaded, what was discussed
• useful for teachers, because it is easy to
  supervise and give helpful navigation or what to
  do tips for each participant personally
• clustering successful paths could provide
  information on advisable success trails to follow
  for future users, thus resulting in dynamic
  advisory trials for project maps.

Activity map

• AM is constructed from individual logs. It shows
  all visited LOs, how many times they have been
  visited, how the microworlds were evaluated (by
  votes of users), who visited them, what works
  were uploaded, what discussions arose concerning
  each activity, which are
• useful for individuals, because they can identify
  successful LOs
• useful for teachers, because they can examine
  pedagogical effects of activities and motivations
  for collaborative routines
• useful for designers, because they can examine
  educational values of activities and can thus
  improve site by adding more successful LOs and
  deleting less successful ones, improving the
  value of portal.

Useful for others

• Links provide investigation posibilities for
  other to learn from, which are
• useful for individuals, because they can identify
  the progress of solution from accessed basic
  data
• useful for teachers, because they can examine
  process of emerging solutions
• useful for designers, because they can examine
  educational values of activities and can thus
  improve Quest.

Discussion questions

• What kinds of collaborative learning can be
  supported by trails and how?
• What trail techniques are used in supporting
  collaborative learning?
• The role of personalisation in e-Learning systems
  that support trails.
• What is the role of trails within the whole
  learning design?
