‣ Go-Lab EU Project • Nov 2012 • 4 years • 10M€
• Global Online Science Labs for Inquiry Learning at School
• Objective: Raise interest for and stimulate carriers in STEM using online labs (remote labs • virtual labs • scientific data)
• Project and Pedagogical Coordinator: University of Twente
• Community Coordinator: EA • Technical Coordinator: EPFL

Online School Labs
Community School Networks
‣ Parsimony as core principle
• Pedagogy: Focus on inquiry learning sessions relying on online labs and preserving teacher’srole, scenarios and modalities
• Technology: Select the most simple existing technology and rely on existing repositories (resources and online labs)
• Communities: Build on existing outreach activities, domain leaders, early adopters, and teacher networks (European Schoolnet)
• Scientific Hubs: Federate existing resourcesin a single portal providing a coherent user experience (CERN, ESA, ...)

Simple enough to trigger adoption
Rich enough to bring added value

Online School Labs‣ Inquiry Learning Spaces (ILSs)
• A set of online resources supporting an targeted activity
• Information and guidance (wiki)
• Online labs through interfacing apps
• Scaffolding apps
• and structured to enforce inquiry learning phases
• Orientation
• Conceptualisation
• Investigation
• Conclusion
• Discussion

• Share it with a secret URL and use it in class
Go-Lab FactoryPrivacyby Design • Metaphor of
the classroom • Controlled by
the teacher • Students log in
with nicknames (no sign up)
• Secret URL as the lab key
• Confinement in inquiry learning spaces
13
• Activity tracking only enabled if the virtual agent AngeLA (the guarding Angel for LA) is invited by the teacher in the inquiry learning space ILS
• LA rely on http://activitystrea.ms
• Dashboard apps can be added in the ILS for visualization
• Go-Lab is not about big data, it is about contextual data
• Scaffolding apps rely on LA when available
Learning Analytics
• This work was partially funded by the European Union inthe context of the ROLE (Grant Agreement no. 231396)and Go-Lab projects (Grant Agreement no. 317601) under the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) theme of the 7th Framework Programme for R&D (FP7)and by the Personal Learning Environment (Phase 3) project of the Swiss AAA/SWITCH Program
