After a general overview in a previous paper [10], in which we proposed Didactic Networks (DN) as a new way for developing and exploiting web-learning content, we offer here a deeper study showing how to use them for web-learning design and content generation based on Instructional Theory with the coherence guaranty of the RST [3]. By using a set of expressivity patterns, it is possible to obta...

When creating a digital serious game the major challenge arises from the selection of a game engine, one which optimally supports the right balance between engagement and learning. The approach presented in this paper is based upon a generic model of a value benefit analysis. The model is enhanced by a matrix which encodes the evaluation of a game framework not only by its value for the individ...

The core intention of the pattern is to enrich the learner‘s perspectives by giving and receiving feedback through peer-review.

The paper defines the notion of “pedagogical stance”, viewed as the type of position taken, the role assumed, the image projected and the types of social behaviours performed by a teacher in her teaching interaction with a pupil. Two aspects of pedagogical stance, “didactic” and “affective – relational”, are distinguished and a hypothesis is put forward about their determinant factors (the teac...

The present paper organizes around the concept of didactic competence analyzed from the perspective of educational implementation of the new ICT tools. It presents the results of a large research regarding the development of certain general and specific didactic competencies, having as a support the virtual environment offered by the new technologies. Thus, the implications of the educational u...

Recent research in science education recommends the development of didactic resources that approach relations between Science, Technology and Society [STS] and articulate formal and non-formal educational contexts such as science museums and centres, the Internet and television. We consider it’s important to implement those recommendations through the use of ICT in science education. Therefore ...

In the past many didactic models have been developed for regular courses. But didactic models for e-learning courses and specific for MOOCs are still under development. Such a model should provide a basis for measurements against the high drop-out rate of MOOCs. Recently we introduced FETCH 2.0 as didactic model for e-learning using social media. In this paper we discuss a didactic model for re...

The learning of the concept infinity, mediated by information and communications technology (ICT) under a didactic engineering approach, has been objective this research. Didactic engineering, with its different phases, shown path toward understanding concept, which true challenge for many mathematicians throughout history in terms comprehension application within various mathematical framework...
