Partnerships in Work Based Learning

Examining the principles of accredited work-based learning, this book introduces some of the key practice and education issues currently facing professionals and includes discussion of the challenges encountered when trying to combine academic and practice development. Based on real-life experiences, this book is a useful resource for practitioners and educators involved in higher education programs that combine practice and academic learning.

Pedagogically Founded Courseware Generation for Web-Based Learning

An HTN-Planning-Based Approach Implemented in Paigos

Automatic course generation is a very important area of research with numerous practical applications in e-learning. It has been studied since the 1980s within the fields of intelligent tutoring, AI and education, adaptive hypermedia and web-based educational systems. Many approaches have been proposed, but hardly any have resulted in generic and practically applied systems. A number of problems have remained unresolved. These problems are addressed by this work. This book focuses on course generation based on Hierarchical Task Network planning (HTN planning). This course generation framework enables the formalization and application of complex and realistic pedagogical knowledge. The volume describes basic techniques for course generation, which are used to formalize seven different types of courses (for instance, introducing the learner to previously unknown concepts and supporting the learner during rehearsal) and several elementary learning goals (e.g., selecting an appropriate example or exercise). This framework has been implemented and evaluated with good results in several domains, with users from different countries and universities, in the context of an EU project. Course generation based on HTN planning is implemented in PAIGOS and has been evaluated by technical, formative and summative evaluations.

In this chapter, I will identify and describe general principles that apply to course
generation as formalized in Paigos, independent of both the underlying learning
theory and the learning goals the course is generated for. The chapter starts with
metadata. In Section 4.1, I show that existing learning object metadata standards
fail to describe educational resources sufficiently precise for their automatic
integration into learning processes by intelligent components. I then describe an

Practice-based Learning in Higher Education

Jostling Cultures

This book addresses issues confronting universities’ attempts to integrate practice-based learning in higher education curriculum, yet which reveals the jostling of cultures which exist within and amongst the academy, industry, government and professional bodies and other educational providers. The book engages theory in practices, and draws upon research highlighting the issues and transactions that emerge with implementation of work integrated learning arrangements as uses these resources to discuss and develop further both theoretical premises and procedural contributions. The illustrative cases derive utilise metaphors of culture in their exploration of the epistemologies, structures, politics, histories and rituals which constrain program opportunity and success in making these advances. The volume comprises two main sections, the first laying out focal issues in the integration of learning and work in higher education. This section presents the issues at multiple levels of analysis and in theoretical terms. This section provides a foundation for the second section of the book which introduces a number of research studies illustrative of the issues theorised in the first. The cases highlight the practice of workplace and higher education pedagogy. They provide thick descriptions of experiences of integration and are explicitly focused on the implementation of work integrated programs in higher education. The volume commences with an introductory chapter which sets out the range of issues addressed both theoretically and through illustration in the book and a final chapter critically reviews the contributions and acts to provide a cohesive picture of the learning practices of work and higher education and the possibilities of their integration.

Stephen Billett Abstract This chapter commences the discussion that then
continues across the contributions of this monograph regarding how practice-
based learning experiences (i.e. those in the circumstances of practice and
usually outside of university settings) can be utilised and integrated within higher
education courses in effective and sustainable ways. This discussion
acknowledges that students' learning through engagement in practice-based
experiences is now and ...

Work-Based Learning

This book is a radical approach to the notion of higher education. Students undertake study for a degree or diploma primarily in their workplace and their learning opportunities are not contrived for study purposes but arise from normal work. Work-based Learning is the first comprehensive book on this major innovation.
