Release of Personalisation Features and Inquiry Learning Apps – Initial Dissemination Level Public Status Final
Abstract
This deliverable presents the initial release of the personalisation features and
the inquiry learning apps developed following the specifications presented in
D5.1. In terms of personalisation, we present the first release of internationalisation
features in Go-Lab. The language of the ILS platform (Graasp) is now
propagated to the inquiry learning spaces (ILS) and apps when the apps support
the language. To achieve this, the apps make use of the OpenSocial internationalisation
specification (see D5.1). Furthermore, through an early prototype
of the App Composer, missing translations of apps can be added. This
app composer prototype has been integrated with Graasp and is currently being
tested before evaluating it with teachers. The design of the recommender system
has started, but the implementation did not commence yet. We focused on
internationalisation in this early state of the project, since it affects both students
and teachers involved in the Phase A evaluations.
Next to the work on personalisation, several Inquiry Learning Apps have been
designed and implemented, of which some were specified in D1.1 by the pedagogical
cluster and in D5.1. We functionally and technically describe the following
apps: the Concept Mapper, the Hypothesis Scratchpad, the Questioning
Scratchpad, the Experiment Design Tool, the Data Viewer, the Drop File tool,
the Resource View app and the Wiki app. Additionally, work has started on the
Conclusion Tool. WP3 is currently evaluating several of these apps and is expected
to provide insights and feedback on their design and usefulness in D3.2
in M24. Moreover, the pedagogical cluster is refining the theoretical definitions
of scaffolding and guidance apps (documented in the internal deliverable G1.3)
and together with the pedagogical cluster we are designing new inquiry learning
apps that will be documented in D5.5.
In order for these apps to communicate with each other we have extended the
OpenApp library to enable drag and drop between apps and have implemented
the Vault space to allow data storage and exchange between apps. Access to
the Vault space is enabled using a JavaScript library that also supports functions
for easy user activity logging using the ActivityStreams format (see D5.1).
Finally, to integrate Learning Analytics services with the inquiry learning apps,
we have devised an activity logging architecture and library. The work of described
in this deliverable will continue and the release of the personalisation
features and inquiry learning apps will be finalised in D5.5 (M32).
