Abstract This contribution proposes software infrastructure to support new types of learning methodologies and resources based on collaborative knowledge engineering by means of an innovative application framework called the virtualized collaborative sessions framework (VCSF). The VCSF helps meet challenging collaborative knowledge engineering requirements in online learning, such as increasing group members’ learning performance during the on-line collaborative learning process. In turn, systematic application of the VCSF platform enriched with semantic knowledge engineering technologies enables e-learning developers to leverage successful collaborative learning experiences in a software reuse fashion while saving development time and effort. The framework is prototyped and successfully tested in real environments, thus showing the software reuse capability and the collaborative knowledge engineering benefits of the VCSF approach. The research reported in this paper was undertaken within the ALICE project funded through the European 7th Framework Program (FP7).

Abstract In recent years, colleges and universities across the country have been called upon to increase the quality of education provided and to improve student retention rates. In response to this challenge, many faculty are exploring alternatives to the traditional “lecture-centered” approach of higher education in an attempt to increase student learning and satisfaction. Collaborative learning is one method of teaching, which has been demonstrated to improve student learning outcomes.

El propósito de este artículo es fortalecer la colaboración entre dos instituciones que buscan integrar e-learning en sus prácticas más cotidianas y en contextos donde antes no habían tenido experiencia previa. El objetivo principal es acercar a los estudiantes universitarios, en este caso a los usuarios del Banco del Tiempo (BdT) del Ayuntamiento de Terrassa, Barcelona, a las prácticas reales para que obtengan un aprendizaje más significativo,. La experiencia relata el proceso de coordinación, diseño, gestión y valoración desde el punto de vista del aprendizaje en la formación inicial de los estudiantes de grado.
