Educational Modelling Languages (EMLs) have been proposed to enable the modelling of instructional resources in accordance with different learning approaches. An EML provides a containment framework of elements that can describe any design of a teaching-learning experience in a formal way.

The integration of practice and learning is a key to cultivation of or­ ganizational capability for creating or inheriting intellect. In this paper, firstly we address the critical research issues for collaborative space design to inte­ grate practice and learning. Following the discussion, we have built an ontology which specifies the structure of the collaborative learning, described patterns...

Abstract This study was intended to compare collaborative and individual task planning effects on Iranian EFL learners’ writing performance. Therefore, a group of 90 upper intermediate EFL learners were placed in three groups of Collaborative Task planning, Individual Task planning, and Control. In the experimental groups, participants were asked to do task planning collaboratively and individu...
