Univirtual Lab
The inspiring idea
Nowadays the knowledge demand in every context of work and social
interaction, address people to search for lifelong and lifewide learning
This put the bases for personalized education, both of high quality and
easily accessible; eLearning seems to be one of the best strategies to
satisfy both criteria, enhancing possibilities for learners to experience
ubiquitous learning, a strong possibility of personal and institutional
development
Univirtual Lab
The starting point
In the following years, the Lab has widen its scope, participating in several international and national projects where it has experimented virtual learning environments, net based learning tools, and training of trainers to the use of educational technologies
… Univirtual Lab was founded on 1999 with the aim of developing online teachers education courses, implemented by SSIS of VENETO (School of Especialization for Secondary Teaching)
Today, the Lab provides support for learning&instructional
design, with an approach to innovation in educational
technologies, and strongly supported by research evidence, in
collaboration with CIRDFA (Interuniversity Center for Educational
Research and Advanced Training)

Research Profile
Learning on the cyberspace is creating new phenomena, which in time become a continuing challenge both for research and practice. The Lab intends to analyze well defined research problems in this field, without leaving ethical and deontological concerns
The aim is to put into practice significant activities, with the highest educational and social impact among participants and trainers.
The research areas are…..
- Networked learningNew learning environments, instructional & learning design for hybrid learning.
- Training of TrainersEducators professionalism for new educational contexts on the net and in glocal networks.
- Open educational Resources and Metadata
Open content for better access and innovation in learning
E-researchResearch methodologies and tools to understand learning processes on the net.

Univirtual LabA training framework: ILEP (Margiotta, 2006)(information, laboratory , evaluation, personalization)
ILEP is an instrumental framework that defines a teaching progressively oriented to promote different steps in the dynamic,
cognitive and metacognitive growing up of the students.The ILEP framework contains and formalizes the following
hypothetical steps of the teaching action:
INFORMATION: This step cover the process that communicates knowledge, focused on the activation and the organisation on knowledge and experience schemes. The teacher, in this step, promotes on student the acquisition of new information, new patterns of reasoning and analogical understanding
LAB: This step includes activities where students learn to explore, prove, falsify, and corroborate what they learn; laboratory is the experimental environment in which students learn to apply what it is known in different and problematic environments of human experience.
ASSESSMENT: This third step relates to recursive stages of analysis, interpretation and justification of learning results with a particular focus on their generalization. This step could be characterized as a continuous participatory analysis of learning process by students.
PERSONALIZATION: This is a recursive action that promotes students’ capacities to explore and to identify rules with which it Is possible to discover new rules of knowledge /experience composition and combination. This is an inventive step: students learn to mastery knowledge and experiences, to gain and to equilibrate attitudes, to understand differences in the largest world, to speak different alphabets , to act a well founded citizenship.

Learning Approaches
Learning Approaches
Self-Learning Approach(online)
The learning process is conceived as individual,
where the single retrieves the material of his/her interest from the net
Certification/recognition of learning occurs through
highly structured tests and assignments
Assisted training Approach(blended)
The learning process is conceived as individual,
where the single interacts with a tutor online and
eventually with other usersCertification/recognition of
learning occurs through tests and assignments proposed by the tutor and interacting
with colleagues
Collaborative Learning(eel – enriched
environment learning)
The learning process is conceived as social, where learning environments offer several inputs to motivate
participants to interact among them
Certification/recognition of learning occurs through self-recognition and triangulation
of several instruments of evaluation (mixed qual-
quan)

… AWAP : a special case of Personal Learning Environment
What’s AWAP?
It stands for Ambiente Web per l’apprendimento personalizzato (personal learning environment on the Web) which aim is to make interact LMS with WEB 2.0 according to user’s motivations and scopes
HOW?Through highly flexible platforms, which are interoperable and allow hence the necessary simplicity and usability to keep “natural” user’s environments and tools connected within the learning experience
