System for creation, support and tracking of interactive learning activities

Abstract

The paper presents a study in the field of m-learning with interactive learning content. The approach used is to integrate a system (plug-in), which converts learning activities into EPUB learning content, suitable for usage and tracking on any mobile device, with an existing e-learning environment, full with learning courses. Therefore, a plug-in for exporting learning content from the Learning Management System Moodle into an EPUB interactive book is developed. The plug-in can export the following Moodle resources and activities: labels, files, folders, URLs, pages, books, lessons and tests. The data about students' learning activities is collected through xAPI statements, stored in a Learning Record Store. On the basis of the stored data, various types of reports are generated, which help teachers track students' progress. The software is tested with real users and short statistics are derived from their opinions in six areas (practical applicability; design; accessibility; interactivity, support and feedback; communication and collaboration; understanding).
