New page

== Phase 1 ==
# Collect physical documents to scan. Physical documents include syllabus, teacher manuals, text books, model/exam papers and past exam papers of general examinations
# Scan documents
# Design and implement framework to display documents
# Upload and give access the documents
# Introduce digital library of VLE to student societies

== Phase 2 ==
# Structure and reorganize each courses to reduce complexity of learning
# Design and implement each course within learning management system
# Refer digital library documents as course materials
# Prepare and upload easy learning materials. Easy learning materials include animations, videos, short notes
# Introduce learning management system to student societies

== Phase 3 ==
# Introduce peer-to-peer learning tools(evaluation tools, learning material sharing tools)

-<b>Virtual educational resources (curriculum, text books, notes, assignments/exercises/labs, quizzes/tests, teaching guides) </b>
+It is vital to have a reference library for any learning environment. Thus, Pallikoodam has decided to create a digital library for VLE. Digital library has to be capable of providing students with the information/references they require in order to pursue their courses. For the students to access the contents easily, the sources included in the library will be cataloged on the basis of grades and subjects. The digital library will consist of publications by the Department of Education, SriLanka such syllabi, teacher's guides, textbooks and model/past exam papers. This digital library could be accessed by all the participants who are online. There are no privileges or restrictions.
-It is vital to have a reference library for any learning environments. This motivates the need of a digital library for VLE. Digital library has to be capable of providing much information/reference to a student. Thus, it decides an aim of large content providing. To manipulate contents easily, they are organized based on each subject of each grade. Digital library contents for each subject are publications by Education Department of SriLanka (syllabus, teacher's guide, textbooks) and model/past exam papers. This digital library for VLE is accessible for all who connects through internet. There are no privileges restrictions.
+In short, the first phase will be implemented at the following stages:
 <br>
-# Identify relevant and suitable documents that can be digitized
+# Identifying relevant and suitable documents that should be digitized
-# Digitize documents
+# Digitizing the documents identified
-# Map digitize documents to the syllabus
+# Mapping digitized documents to the syllabi
-# Identify available existing electronic materials to supplement student learning
+# Identifying available existing electronic materials to supplement student learning
-# Implement an open digital library using digitized content

-<b> Virtual learning management systems (courses, video/multi media, animations, dynamic tools, collaboration tools, assessment, administration) </b>
+There are different technologies, methodologies and tools to implement virtual learning environments. But, selecting an appropriate and sustainable way to produce our virtual learning environment is more important to achieve our ultimate goals. A VLE, in general, includes question banks, video lectures, explanations through animations, online testing or experimenting tools. There are no boundaries to confine these tasks, for they evolve by time. Once a new trend or tool is identified, it will be included. We expect that a student should feel a classroom environment virtually.

+In short, the second phase will be implemented at the following stages:
 <br>
-# Identify teachers and resource people to implement online learning platform
+# Identifying teachers and resource people to implement the online learning platform
-# Draft instructional design for O/L and A/L subjects based on existing content

+# Implementing the Instructional Design on a Learning Management System
-# Introduce the platform to teachers and schools

 </div>
-<b> Social learning systems (self sustaining co-learning, collaborating, co-creating learning communities) </b>
+The fourth phase connects the processes of learning and teaching outlined in the earlier phases with the larger social goals of the project. The focus will be on encouraging and guiding students’ collective participation in conversations directly related to their formal education and about the socio-political, economic and cultural issues that are closely linked to their lives and their communities. We anticipate that students’ contribution to the second set of conversations will create in them a comprehensive understanding of the roles education could play in building grass-root level movements for social justice and solidarity. Encouraging the students to explore the ways in which formal education and alternative forms of education could inform each other and strengthen each other, this phase aims at promoting knowledge as a means of empowerment.
-A student feel comfortable with his/her learning as there occurs useful interactions. Peer-to-peer learning and social collaborative learning form this environments. Peer-to-peer learning happens through peer evaluation and peer knowledge supporting. This captures a particular area of virtual learning. Obviously, Virtual peer-to-peer learning is more efficient as peers are self-motivated. Forums connect students, teachers and scholars at one place to share their knowledge. This creates an environment where information/knowledge passes through different communities and not kept with individuals. <br>
+The implementation of the fourth phase involves the following:
-# Develop online examinations
+<br/>
-# Develop appropriate interactive learning materials
+# Creating student organizations and associations where students can initiate activities related to their education on their own
-# Introduce new learning styles
+# Organizing competitions and meetings between different groups of students
-# Strengthen student collaboration
+# Encouraging students to reflect on contemporary social situations and identify progressive and inclusive alternatives
