Forum .LRN Q&A: ANN: Implementation of the Logical Framework Approach for .LRN

I would like to introduce Pau Gaillard and Alberto Bayón, who are working on their Final Project to get their degree in Computer Science at aDeNu Research Group implementing for .LRN two different versions of the Logical Framework Approach, described elsewhere. The Logical Framework Approach (LFA) is a specific strategic planning methodology that can be used to prepare many different types of projects.

Pau is focused on implementing the standard version of the LFA whereas Alberto's work focuses on implementing the collaborative extension we have defined at aDeNu Group: http://adenu.ia.uned.es/adenu/papers/12-aied_03-osaregjgb.pdf. On their implementations, they will apply machine learning algorithms to learn collaboration indicators.

They are new in the OpenACS/.LRN community so they may require some help from you, but I'm sure they will be very soon able to help others too. They already know that their input is really very wellcome, specially documenting the getting started with OpenACS/.LRN.

Moreover, if you know anybody who is working on this, please let us know. Or if any of you may have some special requirements at this respect, we may consider them if they comply with the objectives of the projects.

Hi all,

Pau Gaillard has already finished his implementation of the standard version of the Logic Framework and he is presenting his work as Final Project for his Computer Science studies this Thursday Feb. 22 at 13:00 at UNED in Madrid (Spain), at the Computer Science School, room 6.02. The room is not too big, but for those who are in Madrid and are interested in this development, it can be a good opportunity to have a quick overview of it.

Appart from the implementation of this methodology as a kind of workflow in dotLRN, his work integrates machine learning algorithms in a dotLRN package. In particular, Weka data mining software is fed with interaction data gathered from dotLRN platform. As a result of the process, indicators about the learners are learnt and recommendations to professors are given. This work has been cordinated by Jesús G. Boticario and myself.

In any case, in a short period of time we will contribute the package to OpenACS CVS.

Hi all,

Alberto Bayón has now finished the implementation of the collaborative extension for the Logical Framework Methodology called CLF (Collaborative Logical Framework). He is presenting his work as Final Project for his Computer Science studies on Monday July 13 at 12:00 at UNED in Madrid (Spain), at the Computer Science School, room 6.02. The room is not too big, but for those who are in Madrid and are interested in this development, it can be a good opportunity to have a quick overview of it. If you are thinking on comming, please drop a line on this forum.

As the previous development, Weka data mining software is fed with interaction data gathered from the dotLRN platform. As a result of the process, collaboration indicators about the learners are obtained and can be used to offer recommendations to students to manage their collaboration.

Presentations of the ongoing works were done in Vienna 2007 and Valencia 2008 OpenACS' conferences.

Hope you find interesting this development. We plan to contribute it to the OpenACS community.
