Fast facts… • A 4 year research project • (Re-)Started in 2011 • Run by the Learning Infrastructure Research Group (LIR) at Umeå University • 1 PhD student and 2 researchers • Besides research we are producing a Cloud Service (not just a prototype) WILDWiring the Learning Infrastructure: Connecting Digital Learning Resources to the Curriculum– A Curriculum Cloud Service on the Semantic Web Fredrik Paulsson Umeå universitet, IMLBlogg: http://www.frepa.org E-post: fredrik.paulsson@educ.umu.se
Introduction- What are we doing? 2011-02-14 Fredrik Paulsson
What is “the Curriculum”?- from a Swedish point of view 2011-02-14 Fredrik Paulsson
Basic Metadata Markup (RDF/XML) • Machine readable content and partly machine processable*. • Detailed Metadata Markup (RDF/XML) • Making the content machine processable at a detailed level (i.e. Objectives, central content and concepts, and knowledge criteria). • Web-friendly API:s (REST) • Content/service accessible for other Web Services to be included into ”mashups”. • Tools for annotating curriculum and syllabus • Annotate and add metadata to national and local steering documents (e.g. for teachers, subject experts, publishers).
Main objective(s) of the WILD-project • Make the school curriculum digitally useful • Machine-readable and machine-processable by the use of Semantic Web technologies • Hence: meaning for humans (i.e. students and teachers) as well as for machines (i.e. software and services). • Making the curriculum/steering Documents ”usable” by wiring other digital services to the curriculum. • Make the curriculum a part of schools “information ecology” • Teachers should be able to actually use the steering documents when teaching by connecting pedagogical activities and resources to the steering documents. • Provide tools to analyze visualize the curriculum (for students, parents etc.) 2011-02-14 Fredrik Paulsson
Or in other words: We want others to create added valueby integrating and using our Curriculum Service in new digital (mashed-up) services for schools! 2011-02-14 Fredrik Paulsson
The Curriculum Cloud Service- Two scenarios (or is it three?) and a demo (or is it two?) 2011-02-14 Fredrik Paulsson
The Curricullum as a Cloud Service Scenario 1: 0-2 Years Styrdokument Online The Curriculum Browser Semantic Web Data (RDF/Linked Data) API:s level 1 & level 2 (RESTFul) - Browse and explore • - Analyze- Work with quality- Annotate and create dynamic links to other data and info. 1- Central Concepts and Knowledge Demands in Math 6th grade, that are relevant for PDP-aim X. All Knowledge Demands in Math 5th grade that matches Learning Resource x All learning resources that match Objective x and Mark Criteria y for 9th grade. • Jämföra styrdokument internationellt (PISA mm) • Koppling till prov och bedömning • Utöka sökningen i spindeln för att skapa pedagogiskt kontext/paketering The Spider Web Service Y(For Personal Development Plans) MLR(SWE) Publisher X 2- Search for Learning Resources as in scenario 1 (above) API (RESTFul)
Demo-time Connecting WILD to Digital Learning Resources by mashing up two services on the web: the Spider and WILD The Wild Curriculum Browser (ugly as hell, but it partly works) Fredrik Paulsson
Styrdokument som ”molntjänst” Scenario 1: 0-2 år Styrdokument Online Styrdokuments-utforskaren Semantic Web Data (RDF/Linked Data) API:s level 1 & level 2 (RESTFul) • Utforska styrdokument • Analysera styrdokument • Kvalitetsarbete • Annotera och skapa kopplingar till annan info. • Jämföra styrdokument internationellt (PISA mm) • Koppling till prov och bedömning • Utöka sökningen i spindeln för att skapa pedagogiskt kontext/paketering 1- Centrala begrepp och kunskapskrav i matte åk6, som är relevanta för IUP-mål X. Alla lärresurser som motsvarar syfte x och betygskriterium y för åk 9. All kunskapskrav i matte åk 5 som motsvarar lärresurs x Spindeln Webbtjänst Y Läromedelsförlag X 2- Sök lärresurser motsvarande 1 (ovan) API (RESTFul)

Deliverables • Digitized Steering/Curriculum Documents. Preferably in a standardized data format. We are exploring the Curriculum Exchange Format, CEF as the basis (but this is still a fairly open issue...) • Semantic Web technology: An RDF-binding to CEF for machine Processable Semantics*. • A methodology* for analyzing and adding metadata and annotations to the Curriculum. • Tools* for markup and annotation (for contributing to the metadata ecology). • A basic structural and descriptive markup* of the curriculum documents. For others to use and improve. • A set of API:s for interacting with the curriculum service. I.e. an interface for other services to use. • A couple of example services that builds upon those API:s and the curriculum service. *Currentlyongoing work 2011-02-14 Fredrik Paulsson
