TRANSCRIPT
Towards educational cloudMart Laanpere, head of the Centre for Educational Technology
Current situation in Estonia
Koolielu.ee (since 2009): repository of teacher-created learning resources, more than half of Estonian teacher are registered users, QA (subject moderators and QA checklist)
LeMill.net: 50K users, 70K learning resources, shutting down
Digital Exams: EIS prototype was received with mixed feelings
Textbook publishers are experimenting with various e-textbook formats (ePub, Web-based, apps, eLessons, LCMS)
Majority of actively used digital learning resources are scattered around Web 2.0 (blogs, wikis, LearningApps, Khan Academy, Kahoot, Weebly, HotPotatoes etc)
Unsolved issues
Scaling up the use, re-mix and re-use, interoperability
Metadata creation and collection from various repos
LO quality assurance, curriculum coverage
Teachers want to use hundreds different authoring tools
Majority of UG content is hidden, locked and hard to find
IPR violations, combining proprietary content and OER
Supporting innovative pedagogical scenarios
Innovative pedagogical scenarios
Majority of available digital learning resources follow the conservative pedagogy: presentation-practice-test
Innovative pedagogical scenarios from LEARNMIX project (re-conceptualizing e-textbook): Flipped classroom
Project-based learning
Problem-based learning
Inquiry-based learning
Game-based learning

Teachers, school principals, educational technologists
Textbook publishers, other content providers (EIS, KhanAcademy)
Online gradebook providers
Metadata & ontotlogy experts
Goals (inputs for tender on developing the EduCloud):
Requirements specification
Personas, scenarios
Clickable prototype
Educational cloud: interoperable services

Digital Learning Resource cloud
DLR cloud: goals
Metadata harvesting:
Automatic, every 24 hrs from multiple repositories (incl. Finnish)
Content provider responsible for interfacing and metadata quality
Creating collections from DLR:
Powerful metadata-based search and recommendation
Collections created by teachers for students, for learners
Shareable on multiple end-user platforms
Learning analytics:
Tracking the activities of users (TinCan API, LRS)
Recommender systems
