  1. LEARNING-BY-DOING APPROACHES FOR SKILL ACQUISITIONIvo HristovInstitute of Information Technologies Bulgarian Academy of Science Learning Networks for Lifelong Competence Development Learning Networks for Lifelong Competence Development, Sofia, Bulgaria, 30-31 March, 2006

  2. Overview • BULGARIAN KNOSOS DISTANT TRAINING CENTRE • LEARNING-BY-DOING APPROACHES FOR SKILL ACQUISITION • Approaches • Simulation • Using real software subject of study • USING MICROSOFT TERMINAL SERVICES FOR ACCESSING THE SOFTWARE UNDER STUDY Learning Networks for Lifelong Competence Development, Sofia, Bulgaria, 30-31 March, 2006

  3. LMS Basis • Controlled access for different types of users • Mixed initiative in activating the course sections • Implementation of assessment/self-assessment mode inside/outside the direct learning operation mode. • Possibility to follow/measure the learners’ actions. • Means to facilitate the activities of the environment administrator. Learning Networks for Lifelong Competence Development, Sofia, Bulgaria, 30-31 March, 2006

  4. LMS Basis - continuation • Asynchronous connection with the trainer/tutor. • Sufficiently intuitive interface for the end-user, removing the need of special training how to use the environment. • Work with standard/not-excessive computer power. • Use of a standard browser from the learner’s part. Learning Networks for Lifelong Competence Development, Sofia, Bulgaria, 30-31 March, 2006

  5. LMS Layered Architecture Diagram Learning Networks for Lifelong Competence Development, Sofia, Bulgaria, 30-31 March, 2006

  6. LMS Layered Architecture • DTC User Interface • DTC API • Curriculum mapping, Delivery, Assessment, Trainers Support, Authoring Studio Bases, Student Tracking, DTC Server • Terminal Console – under experimentation • DTC Data Layer • Courses And Users Data base • Local SCORM Courses • Exercises results and templates - under experimentation Learning Networks for Lifelong Competence Development, Sofia, Bulgaria, 30-31 March, 2006

  7. LEARNING-BY-DOING APPROACHES • Simulations • Learning by working with real software – subject of study Learning Networks for Lifelong Competence Development, Sofia, Bulgaria, 30-31 March, 2006

  8. LEARNING-BY-DOING APPROACHES – Real Software • Installation on Local Machine • Installation on a Remote Machine • Comparison of approaches • Workload • Software installation • Software tuning • Learning result submission • Software version control • OS tuning • Off-Line exercises execution • Access to the local devices • Additional software for remote server access Learning Networks for Lifelong Competence Development, Sofia, Bulgaria, 30-31 March, 2006

  9. LEARNING-BY-DOING APPROACHES – An Example • Simple Example - a text that have to be formatted according to trainer requirements by using real software, subject of study • Exercise Template - contains non formatted text; stored in trainer directory • Exercise Instructions – contains instructions how non formatted text must be formatted • Exercise Results – contains text with formatting instructions applied; stored in learner directory Learning Networks for Lifelong Competence Development, Sofia, Bulgaria, 30-31 March, 2006

  10. LEARNING-BY-DOING APPROACHES – Remote Server Start New Exercise • LMS Connects to the Remote Exercise server If (exercise is about to be done for the first time) LMS Copies Exercise template in the learner folder LMS Starts software application subject of study by using Exercise template ELSE LMS Starts software application subject of study by using previously saved exercise results End If Save Exercise results on exit Learning Networks for Lifelong Competence Development, Sofia, Bulgaria, 30-31 March, 2006

  11. Results and Conclusions • Tracking learner steps more precise • Preparing effective exercises • Integrate exercises into SCORM asset • Effective use of real software subject of study Learning Networks for Lifelong Competence Development, Sofia, Bulgaria, 30-31 March, 2006
