Item Towards the Organization of a Portfolio to Support Informal Learning(Tempus Publication, 2017-03-31) Galanis, N.; Mayol, E.; Casany, M. J.; Alier Forment, MarcThe accelerating change that the society is experiencing worldwide is exposing the weaknesses in the education system we have inherited from previous generations. Every year lots of kinds of jobs disappear and new job descriptions are being created as well. Lifelong learning is no longer a theoretical concept, but a very real need for most people. Not all learning comes from formal education processes. Students and professionals are getting actionable knowledge from all kinds of sources and activities. Thus, informal learning, alongside competence-based learning and learning outcomes is getting a lot of attention lately from human resources departments, academics and policy makers. A number of countries and organizations are busy defining guidelines for validating and evaluating informal learning experiences and formalizing its outcomes. In a globalized society where technology has brought together different cultures and educational systems, managing to keep track of a learner’s competences is a daunting task, and especially when trying to take into account the competences acquired through informal means. In this paper, we propose a framework to gather, enhance, organize, evaluate and showcase a user’s informal learning using a social approach to engage the learners to use the system by providing valuable recommendations, contacts and feedback.Item A Social Framework for Supporting, Evaluating and Validating Informal Learning(2014-10) Galanis, N.; Mayol, E.; Alier Forment, Marc; García-Peñalvo, Francisco J.Item Del PLE al LMS+Portfolio: Integración de elementos de aprendizaje informal en Moodle + Mahara(2012) Alier Forment, Marc; Galanis, N.; Mayol, E.; Piguillem, J.; Casany, M.

Á.; García-Peñalvo, Francisco J.; Zangrando, Valentina; García-Holgado, Alicia; Seoane Pardo, Antonio M.; Alier Forment, Marc; Galanis, Nikolas; Griffiths, Dai; Johnson, Mark; Janssen, Jose; Brouns, Francis; Vogten, Hubert; Finders, Anton; Sloep, Peter; Marques, Maria Arcelina; Viegas, Maria C.; Alves, Gustavo R.; Waszkiewicz, Elwira; Mykowska, Aleksandra; Minovic, Miroslav; Milovanovic, MilosThe evolution of new technology and its increasing use, has for some years been making the existence of informal learning more and more transparent, especially among young and older adults in both Higher Education and workplace contexts. However, the nature of formal and non-formal, coursebased, approaches to learning has made it hard to accommodate these informal processes satisfactorily. The project aims to facilitate first the identification by the learner (as the last responsible of the learning process), and then the recognition by the institution, in dialogue with the learner, of this learning. To do so a methodology and a technological framework to support it have been implemented. This project have been tested in several context and it is possible to say that an informal learning dialogue between learners and people in chargé of the institutions is possibleItem TRAILER project overview: Tagging, recognition and acknowledgment of informal learning experiences(2013-01-15) García-Peñalvo, Francisco J.; Zangrando, Valentina; García-Holgado, Alicia; Conde-González, M. Á.; Seoane Pardo, Antonio M.; Alier Forment, Marc; Janssen, Jose; Griffiths, Dai; Mykowska, Aleksandra; Alves, Gustavo R.; Minovic, MiroslavThe evolution of new technology and its increasing use, have for some years been making the existence of informal learning more and more transparent, especially among young and older adults in both Higher Education and workplace contexts. However, the nature of formal and non-formal, course-based, approaches to learning has made it hard to accommodate these informal processes satisfactorily, and although technology bring us near to the solution, it has not yet achieved. TRAILER project aims to address this problem by developing a tool for the management of competences and skills acquired through informal learning experiences, both from the perspective of the user and the institution or company. This paper describes the research and development main lines of this project.
