Context: Wikiwijs
Wikiwijs has to become the place on the internet
where
- all teachers in the Netherlands,
- ranging from Primary education to Higher
education,
- Can find, (co)develop, share, rework and use
digital learning materials,
- published under an open license.

4. 4
Wikiwijs offers …
- a Repository of open educational resources
- a Referatory to digital educational resources:
> open and closed
> free access and access to be paid for
> public and commercial
- easy to use arrangement and development tools
for teachers / professors
- end-user support for teachers / professors when
creating and using learning materials

What are Learning Trajectories?
­ Based on national curricular framework
­ General core objectives ­>
decomposed in intermediate objectives
­ Decision support for teachers,
publishers, educational developers
­ Developing course materials
­ Content
­ Learning objectives
­ Sequence
­ Planning

7. 7
Definition
­ A learning trajectory is a rationalized
composition of learning objectives and subjects,
leading to a specific learning goal.

Datamodel

11. 11
Metadata for learning trajectory
­ Per curriculum
­ Learning objective
­ Subject
­ Topic (relation between Learning objective and
subject)
­ Total number to be developed:
­ 6 in primary education
­ 12 in lower secondary education
­ 24 in upper secondary education

12. 12
First results
­ Learning trajectory metadata for
­ Arithmatics for primary education
­ Mathematics for lower secondary education
­ Dutch language for primary and secondary
education
­ Examples of learning trajectories
­ Including learning materials added
­ Learning materials labeled with the metadata
­ Slowly growing number of objects

13. 13
What’s Next?
­ Development of all vocabularies needed
­ Development of more examples of learning
trajectories
­ Monitoring of use of functions
­ Linking learning trajectories to commercial
methods
