Mailinglist

Mailinglist to get general information about ROLE:

The ROLE project aims at building a framework that allows a learner to easily construct (mash up) and maintain her own Personal Learning Environment (PLE). This PLE consist of a mix of preferred learning tools, learning services, and learning resources.

During the project time ROLE delivers and tests prototypes of highly responsive Personal Learning Environments, ensuring effectiveness, flexibility, user-control, and mass-individualization. If you are interested in receiving information about the work of ROLE, please register to our mailing list. (cf. Privacy Policy)

Who might be interested in ROLE?

Are you a learner or instructor?

The learner is supported in constructing her PLE by tool and services recommending based on learning goals, knowledge, community context etc. This approach permits individualization of the components, tools, and functionalities of a learning environment.

Are you a software developer?

The ROLE project is addressed to the open source community who can develop and provide own tools, services and resources within the ROLE framework. This should enable users to construct (mash up) and maintain their own Personal Learning Environments (PLE).

For those interested in joining our ROLE open source community the following information will be available as soon as the first prototype of the ROLE framework is ready for testing:

  • Source code repository in SourceForge
  • Demonstrators on our Showcase Plattform
  • Documentation
  • Tools to develop own stuff

Are you a researcher?

ROLE covers six main objectives:

  • to support the individual assembly of accessible learning services, tools and resources
  • to research and develop a psychopedagogically sound framework for supporting
  • the individual composition of learning services
  • to create new engineering methodologies
  • to enable significant contribution to ROLE
  • to develop and sustain an evaluation methodology
  • to exploit and disseminate the ROLE results
  • to wider communities and markets

If you want to contribute your ideas and solutions of how personal learning environments improve efficiency and effectiveness of life-long learning approaches, please cooperate with us by joining our ROLE Alliance Program.
