Vision and Objectives


ROLE Vision • Empower the learners to build their own

responsive open learning environment

Responsiveness • Support awareness of the own learning process

Openness • Open up and use learning resources on the Web

Objectives • Psycho-pedagogical framework for supporting

the individual composition of learning services

and its usage

• Technical framework that also enables

contributions to ROLE from learner and

developer communities from outside the project


ROLE SDK / ROLE Platform

• Users create ROLE Space consisting of widgets and resources

• Widgets (apps) for different purposes and learning activities

• Features:

– inter-widget communication,

– contextual attention metadata (logging)

– user data storage

– peers and collaboration

– flexible and adaptable

– sharable



ROLE Widget Store


• Repository of widgets and bundles of widgets

• Metadata and pedagogical information

• Web interface

• SPARQL interface


ROLE Technical Infrastructure

• open and modular technical approach

• enabling a community to create widgets and bundles



Psycho-Pedagogical Framework

• Supporting self-regulated learning (SRL) in personal learning

environments (PLE)

• Self-regulated learning process model

• Models and ontology of learner, learning activities, and competences on

cognitive and meta-cognitive level




• Operationalisation for technical support

• Ontology of educational and technical components and their interactions




• Technical approach for supporting SRL

– Recommenders: guidance for creating PLE and learning process

– Monitoring: observation of learning behaviuour

– Feedback: feedback of tracked and analysed information

– Widgets: for conducting learning activities



Mashup Recommender

• Support for creating learning environments suitable for SRL
