A. Calvani, G. Bonaiuti, M.C. Pettenati Instructional Principles, Universal Learning Design and the role of technologies

• Inclusion rises new and important challenges in educational design and practices. Curriculum design should not be addressed to an “average student” and subsequently adapted to special subjects; instead it should be conceived so as to be for all since the very beginning of the design, taking into account the various peculiarities (special needs, gifted students, cultural differences, language differences). Fields such as the architectural design and technology design, have already fully endorsed the Universal Access principles; more recently the educational domain has also started to endorse a “Universal Design for Learning” (UDL) perspective. Inside this context we propose an “Instructional Design for All” model (IDAll), which moves from a comparative analysis of Gagné, Merrill and Cognitive Load Theory general models matching it with the domain of Special Needs. Within this theoretical framework we focus on how technology becomes a crucial asset for an effective approach to Universal Design Learning implementation. The role of technology is relevant for the increased flexibility in setting up learning environments (face2face, online, in mobility) and for the increased possibility of customizing the education according to specific contexts and needs.

M.C. Pettenati, M. Švab , V. Benigno, M. Repetto, A. Calvani, Supporting Inclusive Learning Design through the e-PEI online Counseling System.

• In this paper we present e-PEI, a Web-based online counseling system intended to support educators of students with special needs. More specifically we target homebound students i.e. students permanently or temporarily confined at home/hospital due to illness or disability. The objective of e-PEI is thus twofold: 1) allows sharing of instructional design experiences, experts’ advices and knowhow in inclusive learning design through the elicitation of tacit knowledge and the support of procedural knowledge; 2) it aims at scaffolding the stakeholders in education of all grades in designing inclusive learning experiences availing of the experts know how provided by the system. e-PEI is a Drupal-based collaboration and content management environment.

Abstract: The diffusion of social networks has boosted the user-generated content sharing in different application domains. At present travel-oriented social networks do not allow the users to organize their information with an easy reuse of data found on a Web-scale. In this paper we address the problem of Web of data reuse through the IDN-Travel Application, a solution that allows users to manage granular data that can be structured as desired, by reusing other information that may be everywhere in the Web. The present application is built on top of the InterDataNet architecture allowing users to collaborate on structured documents aggregating distributed data from the Web. In InterDataNet each data unit has an owner responsible entitled of its management. Each authorized user will (re)use data directly from its origin without duplicating it. This work aims to demonstrate the technical viability of this solution, allowing the user to (re)use data without be confined within the walled gardens established by social media.

The InterDataNet infrastructure solution handling auxiliary information related to data and documents reuse can therefore serve other application scenarios.

Il contributto riferisce di un’indagine condotta all’interno del corso di Ambienti Telematici per l’Apprendimento Collaborativo, corso che tengo ogni anno per gli studenti del corso di Master di I livello in Tecniche e Metodi dell’e-learning.

L’indagine ha lo scopo di capire cosa è un PLE e come viene vissuto da utenti avanzati della rete.

Il questionario completo è disponibile qui.  Il questionario è strutturato in per coprire 4 delle 6 dimensioni del PLE illustrate nel lavoro M.C. Pettenati, 2011, Roadmap to PLE – A Research Route to Empower the Use of Personal Learning Environments (PLEs). Interaction Design & Architecture Journal – Special Issue (ISSN 1826-9745).

Il lavoro per motivi di spazio riporta solo una sintesi di risultati mentre il rapporto completo dei risultati è disponibile qui.

Slides and mp3 recording of the presentation given at e-privacy 2011 are now available. The voice is of Mr Stefano Turchi.

Both the speech and the slides are in Italian.

In questa presentazione si illustra in particolare il modello di sicurezza e privacy adottato da IDN per la gestione dell’e-profile, un applicazione critica per quanto concerne la qualità dei dati, focalizzandosi su autenticazione ed identificazione. Queste proprietà sono abilitate all’interno dell’architettura di IDN per consentire ad un qualsiasi utente di beneficiare del livello di protezione e privacy a prescindere dall’applicazione utilizzata.

Il progetto prevede la creazione di un sistema di autenticazione ed identificazione completamente distribuito e decentralizzato in cui il dato stesso sia in grado di autoproteggersi, sostenuto dall’architettura. Il sistema utilizza un protocollo basato su OAuth2 per la gestione dell’autorizzazione e su OpenID2 per identificare le entità coinvolte.
