The project TEDS@wildau: TEDS framework integration into the moodle platform for user-specific Quality assurance of learning scenarios

Abstract

Online information systems on different devices are being increasingly used in learning processes and as part of continuing education within a wide range of disciplines. However, this increase has often not been matched in and of itself by user acceptance. Emphasizing the needs of human actors (users) is a vital part of ensuring their motivation so that the use of information systems will become generally accepted in application scenarios. To achieve this, the TEDS framework, which builds on Taylor's concept of "Value-Added Processes", is integrated into our Moodle learning platform. In this paper we explain the background, requirements, and some preliminary results of our flexible TEDS*MOODLE integration, which is usable on different devices and which is to date the only one of its kind worldwide. It might also prove to be an innovative solution for e-government platforms, engaging citizens in policy- and decision-making processes. © 2014 IEEE.
