Hybrid Docs
Evaluating Digital Learning Environments:
From a Framework to a Protoype to a Service
#PDSC14, November 2014

2.
Assumption
Knowledge that is not available as
(structured) data is already lost.

3.
The Research Questions
1. What is the impact of digital learning environments (i.e. Massive Open
Online Courses) on academic and life long learning? What is missing?
2. How can we convert analog (raw) learning materials (e.g. Supplementary
Booklet of ZEIT Akademie, OER) into a hybrid/digital format?
3. Which pedagogical/didactical concepts can be used for the reception and
learning of learning materials in digital learning enviroments?

4.
The Idea
1. Develope a software framework to import and convert raw learning
materials (e.g. lecture manuscripts) into restructurable datasets
2. Based on the pedagogical concept of Sebastian Leitner building a tool for
restructing the data and writing learning cards / flashcards
à Process to convert whole Books/Manuscipts to datasets and a set of digital
flashcards with questions on the Backside

5.
What we did
1. Wokshops with external and internal experts
on questions of using OER in digital learning
enviroments
2. Developed a theoretical framework based on
the idea of digitizing the concept flashcards by Sebastian Leitner
3. Build an open source multi-purpose prototype

6.
What we will do
1. Further workshops with schools and students on use-cases of a digital flash
cards for learning
2. Finalize the development of HybridDocs as an web-platform for working
and learning with open educational ressources and other learning materials
3. Launch HybridDocs tool as an open and free service
