IntroductionIntroduction
Knowledge Transfer Knowledge Construction Content-based systems foster transmissionist learning
while ICT technologies improve Constructivism Learning
ICT help learners to enhance their language learning (in educational centres in teaching & formal learning), or outside, (in informal situations):◦ 1. Offering open resources for learning
(Web-based, Communicative, simulate and real practice, …)◦ 2. Giving support to lifelong learning◦ 3. Fostering the design of Personal Learning Environments.
AIOLE: AIOLE: Concept.-Features.-PurposeConcept.-Features.-Purpose
AIOLE (An Interactive Online Learning Environment)
Main Purpose: help teachers and learners to design learning strategies, to develop activities give access to online materials, design and report learners on their learning experiences fulfill tasks where language skills play an essential role in
their learning process.

Laurillard´s Conversational Model (2002) checked in AIOLE
It accomplishes the 4 components:◦Discursive◦Adaptative◦Interactive◦Reflexive
Discursive component in AIOLEDiscursive component in AIOLEChats for conversational exchanges
◦teacher «–» learners ◦learners «–» learners
Access to the learning plan column & links Learners can comment on their learning experience &
doubts. Teacher can access learners’ comments
Adaptative Component in AIOLEAdaptative Component in AIOLE
Teacher:◦ can adapt the learning plan dynamically with sequential
steps in learning activities◦ can offer access to solutions to problems upon practice
completion ◦ Or can access information offering remedial work
Learners◦ can modify their own learning plan, tasks & activities◦ AIOLE will progress showing the teacher’s guide in the
learning path from the institutional guidelines and the levels and descriptors of the CEFR
Interactive Component in AIOLEInteractive Component in AIOLEThe 4 communicative skills, mainly
writing, reading and listening. ◦Writing by integrating AWLA writing assignments in the learning tasks◦Reading & Listening activities designed by the teacher for the learner to access and produce feedback ◦grammar and vocabulary quizzes, easily designed using a template or accessing on Web◦Speaking motivated in blended environments with stimulating spoken interaction face-to-face
Reflexive Component in AIOLEReflexive Component in AIOLE
Help the teacher ◦relating the learners’ feedback with the achievement of the assignment objectives & of the internalization process
◦Saved in every learner’s scenario, inviting them to check and compare results in a not-automatically-driven grading technique done by the teacher
Use of the ePortfolio ◦with the reflective feature of BioLingua

ConclusionsConclusions
AIOLE has resulted in:1. an invaluable tool for learning languages 2. a student-centred learning environment serves
the current trends of PLE 3. a way for learners to control their own learning
in a final stage4. designing their own learning paths (following the descriptors and guidelines of the
educational institutions and ePortfolio practices) It has also been proved to be useful as a learning
environment for long-life learning as it is an open platform.
