Technologies and Educational Activities for Supporting and Implementing Challenge-Based Learning

This project focuses on creating innovative learning environments supporting global open learning activities in scientific fields. Principles include authentic activities, collaboration, and construction. Using modeling tools, experimental scenarios, and real scientific data, the project aims to foster collaborative learning experiences. Educators and students in Sweden, Germany, Chile, and Colombia have successfully utilized the tools, adapting them easily for their needs.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Technologies and Educational Activities for Supporting and Implementing Challenge-Based Learning Nelson Baloian, Kay Hoeksema, Ulrich Hoppe, Marcelo Milrad Depto. de Ciencias de la Computación Universidad de Chile, Santiago Institute for Computer Science and Interactive Systems, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany Center for Learning and Knowledge Technologies (CeLeKT), Växjö University, Sweden

  2. Principles for designing educational environments • Authentic Activities: modeling of activities and tools derived from professional practices • Construction: learners create and share artifacts within their communities • Collaboration: educational environments should be designed to facilitate a close collaboration between learners and with an expert

  3. COLDEX Project • European IST program • U. Duisburg, U. Chile, Politecnica Madrid, U. Saarland, UNED, U. Vexjö, • Aims at designing innovative learning environment in order to support a wide range of global open learning activities within scientific domains • Combining challenge-based learning with modeling tools and experimental scenarios
