Discovering the Campus together

for the orchestration of collaborative scripts blending spaces


Challenge

Mar Pérez-Sanagustín, 2



Socialization difficulties

Non familiar with campus

services

Non familiar with university methodologies

(Bologna)

Ignorance about the

profesional career

Problems



Can we create an integrated environment for introducing students to

their academic context and educational methodologies while fostering their interest and passion

towards technology and future profession ?

Experts’ solutions: Using technology for generating motivation

• Using technology: web-based lessons (Sticklen, 2009), e-mentoring

systems (Müeller, 2004)

• Putting students in contact with professionals in the field: interviews with

engineers (Couter, 2009)

Adopt a Collaborative Learning Flow Pattern (CLFP)using mobile and online technologies

for designing an evaluate an innovative Computer Supported Collaborative Blended Learning Script

(CSCBL)

CLFP

Working

Working

area 2

CSCBL

capturing the essence of well-known techniques for structuring the flow of learning activities to

potentially produce effective learning from collaborative

situations

Technologies for supporting different types of activity (fromal

and informal)In different spaces

Proposal: A CSCBL script


Individual PhaseDiscovering the campus

Expert groupsPreparing presentations

Jigsaw groupsReflecting individually


Discovering the campus together! 2009

Students reflect about the campus

Students Explore the campus:1) Web page2) Walking around the campus3) Exploratory activity with Mobile phones: students access

information in RFID tags distributed for the campus and their actions are registered

• Students in experts groups and assigned to a building• Each group prepares a presentation about their assigned builidng

and uploads it to the Moodle Platform

• Students review the presentations of their colleagues• Students answer an individual questionnaire about the campus

using Moodle University Platform

Students become experts in a builidng


Evaluation: a case study

Context: Introduction to ICT 1rst Engineering Degrees

2-Weeks experience

Participants: 241 students & 3 teachers

• 74 used mobile phones• 167 control group


Results CSCBL script: a suitable solution for facilitating

students the transition from the High School to the University

Collaborative activities make them to meet new people

Students learn about the campus and its services

Combining activities and methodologies: a good approach for

closing students to University Methods

Students are motivated because contacted with

technology applications and research career


Teacher

Administer portable devices

Examine students' data and create groups

Notify groups

Supervise and grade students

Revise presentations Generate final questionnaire


Inestable group management

Time demanding students' data analysis

Lack of scalability

Results

Unnefficient orchestration


Support for group management

A scalable solution

Support for the students data

analysisMaintaining learning outcomes


New challenges: orchestration efficiency New challenges: orchestration efficiency


4SPPices: A model for the orchestration of Computer Supported Collaborative Blended learning scenarios

Space: place where the activity occurs Pedagogical Method: Learning flow, roles and group recommendations Participants: Actual people participating in the activity History: what happened during the process.

… collaborative scenarios/scripts

GSI Generic Service Integration (GSI) to embed the use of any third party service as a regular resource in a learning experience. Integration of Google Forms to implement assessment in a IMS Learning Design

based course.


& GSIA new solution:



UoL in IMS LD to orchestrate- Groups modelled with

properties- Submissions modelled with file-

type properties- 25 students per course instance

Property values guided by GSI- Each course is related with a

Google spreadsheet- “Calculates” are spreadsheet-

sahped IMS LD events triggers information retrieval

- Final questionnaire in QTI

Discovering the campus together! 2010



One day with 5 sessions

34 students & 5 teachers

Teacher Parse and import log files into the spreadsheet Create formulae to calculate groups Mark the activity as finished

Supervise students progress

Supervise and grade students

Results

*Results sent to the Journal Future Generation Computer Systems



Results A scalable solution

Support for the students data

analysis

Flexible group solution ready to face unexpected events related with groups

5 different sessions in the same day

Workload dramatically reduced, group distribution in the same 2 hs session

Support for group management

Maintain learning outcomes

Same learning outcomes than in the first edition of the activity

Orchestration efficiency improved !



2009 2010

Duration 2 weeks 2 hours

Physical space Some of the activities were not performed in the classrooom

Face-to-Face activities

Mobile exploration Imposible ratio 1 mobile/1 person

Ratio 1 mobile/ 1 person

Course Structure All the students in the same course instance

Sessions of 25 students

Conclusions: comparing the two editions
