Releases of the Learning Analytics, Scaffolding Services, and Add-on Services – initial

Résumé 0

This deliverable describes and demonstrates the initial release of learning analytics,scaffolding, and add-on services of Go-Lab. However, the main productof this deliverable are the software prototypes of the learning analytics, scaffolding,and add-on services, many of which are accessible online. Currently, wehave realised the first prototypes specified in the initial specification of D4.2. Itserves as a documentation of the development progress of the first prototypes.It also reports early evaluation results of the first prototypes.This deliverable consists of two major parts: (i) the learning analytics and scaffoldingservices and (ii) the add-on services including a booking system and atutoring platform (which was called the Bartering Platform in D4.2). The initialrelease of the learning analytics and scaffolding services comprise of the prototypicalimplementation of the action logging, back-end services and guidancemechanisms that have been specified in D4.2.The add-on services prototype of the booking system includes a set of mock-upcomponents, while the first prototype of the tutoring platform is accessible athttp://tutoring.golabz.eu. The prototypes show that they are able to supportthe federation of online labs via the booking mechanism and to motivatethe user community to interact on the portal actively via skills bartering.Based on the experiences and prototypes described in this deliverable and ourfuture work, the specifications of the learning analytics, scaffolding, and add-onservices will be updated and finalised in D4.6 (M33). Furthermore, the evaluationof the first prototypes will contribute to the development improvement of thefinal release in D4.8 (M36).
