7. PLE Architecture Users involve in use-cases . Each case deploys widgets in support of the given task. Widgets use infrastructure services & data (from within the PLE container or from the Web 2.0). A directory serves the management and deployment of the portfolio. Interoperability standards secure the flexible recombination of widgets, services, and data.
I’ll briefly now touch upon how we tackled the recommendations we received from you in the past. One thing you expressed was scepticism about how the prototypes will have a positive impact on T&L. We, therefore, arranged the programme of this review in a way to demonstrate this potential , and through our validation plan and efforts to show encouraging evidence from end-users. This will be discussed in the service demos. A word of caution: It’s important that one cannot put all services on the same comparative level. We developed a divers set of tools that share two common objectives – CLICK BUT: they are like forks and knives, made for different settings, and to help tackle different educational challenges. Some support learners other tutors. I believe that when you get introduced to our tools you will realise that this diversity is a strength because it allows for a number of useful combinations and applications.
