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 Integration of Google Docs as a Collaborative Activity within the LMS Using IMS BasicLTI(2013) Alier Forment, Marc; Casany, M.

Á.; Alier Forment, Marc; Casany, M. J.New ICT technologies are continuously introducing changes in the way in which society generates, shares and access information. This is changing what society expects and requires of education. eLearning is acting as a vector of this change, introducing pervasive transformations in and out of the classroom. But with Learning Management Systems (LMS) users have reached a plateau of productivity and stability. At the same time outside the walled garden of the LMS new transformative tools, services and ways of learning are already in use, within the PLE and PLN paradigms. The stability and maturity of the LMS may become yet another resistance factor working against the introduction of innovations. New tools and trends cannot be ignored, and this is the reason why learning platforms should become open and flexible environments. In the course of this article the reasons for this change and how it may be addressed will be discussed, together with a proposal for architecture based on Moodle.Item Personal Learning Environments and the Integration with Learning Management Systems(In M.

These information systems are widespread in institutions with different contexts and scopes, but in a global world, these systems have interoperation needs through standards that define ways to distribute high quality contents or services. On the other hand, there is an increasing number of new web technologies, tools and kinds of contents, devices and services that thrive outside the world of institutions. These have to be combined with new models of distributing, delivering and accessing services: Open Resources, Open Source Software and Creative Commons Licenses, and even the “freemium” business models, which companies like Google, Layers, Prezzi or Twitter have adopted, presenting a deep impact on the panorama of Internet services. This special issue is devoted to the problem of how to integrate service based tools and contents, mobile applications and cloud computing services into the legacy systems. Systems that institutions have been implementing and putting to use with loss of effort and internal transformations; now realizing that their systems are limited, closed and far away from the crest of the wave of systems innovation. This is a problem whose solution seems to lie in the domain of Service Sciences, both from a technical point of view of SOA and interoperability standards, and from a point of view of business models, ways of collaboration inside software development teams and fair licensing strategies. This special issue includes experiences and perspectives organized in 9 papers.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 TRAILER Project (Tagging, Recognition, Acknowledgment of Informal Learning Experiences) A Methodology to Make Learners’ Informal Learning Activities Visible to the Institutions(2013-09-24) García-Peñalvo, Francisco J.; Conde-González, M.

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.Item Using web analytics tools to improve the quality of educational resources and the learning process of students in a gamified situation(IATED Academy, 2018-03-05) Amo Filva, D.; Valls, A.; Alier Forment, Marc; Canaleta, X.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.; Fonseca, D.; Redondo, E.In this paper we propose a businessification approximation to measure and analyse students' engagement in a gamified learning context. Gamification in education is used to enhance students experience and improve learning outcomes. Its technics such as points, leaderboard, badges or ranking are also used in learning instructions with the aim to improve students' engagement. This engagement can be considered as the metric to measure the success of gamified instructions. The gamification model can also be used in an online learning environment. In this virtual context teachers have to have some tools to see what happens during the learning process. Such virtual context is usually web based. In this specific context the resources used such as images, videos or audios are fundamental to engage students. In order to help teachers to enhance engagement we propose the use of web analytical tools in such web based gamified learning contexts to track, analyse and finally enhance such resources
