WP2: iCamp Building Blocks
Mart Laanpere, Terje Väljataga (TLU), Tomaž Klobučar (JSI)
The role and objectives of WP2
• WP2 is a connecting link between pedagogical WP1 and technological WP3
• Focus on conceptualising the iCamp Space: an open virtual learning environment that integrates heterogeneous learning systems and services and fosters collaboration
• Selecting, adapting, testing iCamp Space Building Blocks
• Investigating issues related to trust management, privacy, DRM in iCamp Space
iCamp Space: an activity space
• iCamp Space is not another Web portal: it’s an activity space (ecology), meaning space (ontology)
• Activity system: people, goals, mediators (Engeström)
Learning activity patterns
• Concept of affordances: from ecological psychology (Gibson 1979) to HCI
• Affordances match with activity patterns (recurring and re-usable activity schemas)
• Example list of learning activity patterns: – Learner searches for a research paper – Creating and editing an artifact – Facilitator forms small groups within a study group – Learners design together a graphic artifact – Learner interacts with a multimedia artifact – Study group negotiates a time for meeting – Learners submit the results of group work – Learner perform self-analysis and reflection – Learner takes a test – Facilitator assesses submitted assingments

Summary
• Interview with a student after Trial3: “I’ve learned how to create a new environment for my future students. It is amazing what can we do with them (with the new tools)”
• Timo Väliharju, CEO of Mediamaisteri Ltd, the leading Moodle hosting provider in Finland: “The era of closed LMSs is over, we will not invest in Moodle anymore. PLE is the way to go.”
