Orchestration of e-learning services for automatic evaluation of programming exercises
Managing programming exercises require several heterogeneous systems such as
evaluation engines, learning objects repositories and exercise resolution environments. The
coordination of networks of such disparate systems is rather complex. These tools would be too
specific to incorporate in an e-Learning platform. Even if they could be provided as pluggable
components, the burden of maintaining them would be prohibitive to institutions with few
courses in those domains. This work presents a standard based approach for the coordination of
a network of e-Learning systems participating on the automatic evaluation of programming
exercises. The proposed approach uses a pivot component to orchestrate the interaction among
all the systems using communication standards. This approach was validated through its
effective use on classroom and we present some preliminary results
Analysis of Instructional Design Job Announcements (2016)
This study reports on the results of a job announcement analysis of ninety-three (93) instructional design jobs. Job announcements were collected five (5) times: three times in September 2016, and twice in October 2016. The job analysis focused on identifying key responsibilities and qualifications for instructional designers across the following industries: Corporate, Government / Military, Health, Higher Education, and Non-Profit. The results are discussed, as well as supported and contrasted with a literature review that includes reports on surveyed instructional design professionals
