ICOPER Poster, prepared for ECTEL 2011

1. A Standards-Based Infrastructure for
Interoperability in Outcome-Based Education
Bologna Process: focus on
learning outcomes (student
centered view) Michael Derntl1, Michael Totschnig2, Joris Klerkx3, Jad Najjar2, Bernd Simon2, and Erik Duval3
Learning outcomes state what
1
RWTH Aachen University, Information Systems & Databases, Aachen, Germany
a learner
2 WU Vienna, Institute for Information Systems & New Media, Vienna, Austria
knows, understands
(knowledge), and 3 Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Department of Computer Science, Leuven, Belgium
is able to do
(skills, competences) derntl@dbis.rwth-aachen.de
after completing a learning
process.
University management specifies and advertises
modular, outcome-based programs
Objective: Support the full cycle of
Program managers define common “course types”
and regulations in terms of recommended teaching learning design and delivery using
methods, assessment, and evaluation (profiles of) learning technology
Instructional designers pick and reuse teaching
methods to create learning opportunities that allow standards and specifications
learners to achieve intended outcomes
Teachers want to pick good-practice course designs
and contents for adaptation and delivery
Teachers want to focus on subject matter issues, not
on process/administration issues
Students find learning opportunities matching their
needs
Students keep (control) institution independent
portfolios of achievements
Companies and recruiters find graduates matching
the job qualifications
Development Methodology Metadata based linkage of instructional artifacts
