Abstract

The majority of existing web based learning platforms does not offer a flexible way to design learning environments. They support only a fixed or restricted view on the execution of learning processes. Furthermore, the adaptation and tailoring of learning environments by end-users is rarely supporting different learning scenarios and processes. Both, design and tailoring are usually supported as activities of individual users. In order to support collaborative design and tailoring, a collaborative process was developed and implemented prototypically in the collaborative learning platform CURE. The process supports collection and categorisation of existing designs as templates in a shared central repository, providing searching and rating mechanisms as well as awareness facilities to facilitate reuse of templates and to contribute to the extraction of best practices. First experiences show the advantages and expansion potentials of this approach. The applicability of the process and its portability to other platforms is discussed.
