Moodbile: A Framework to Integrate m-Learning Applications with the LMS.
[ES] Los Sistemas de Gestión de Aprendizaje (LMS) se han generalizado entre la mayoría de los centros de educación y
formación. Ya se trata de una tecnología madura, han dejado la vanguardia de la innovación. Los usos educativos de la
Web 2.0, los Entornos Personales de Aprendizaje, el aprendizaje basado en el juego y en particular la introducción de los
teléfonos móviles y las tabletas en la educación están sucediendo fuera de los límites de los LMS. En este trabajo se
propone una manera de integrar los dispositivos móviles y las aplicaciones educativas con el LMS a través de servicios web;
Se presenta el proyecto Moodbile que proporciona una extensión de servicios web de Moodle 2.0 para la integración móvil
y dos clientes móviles listos para utilizar en situaciones reales.[EN] Learning Management Systems (LMS) have become widespread among most centres for education and

November, 14-15, 2013, Salamanca, Spain.Informal Learning plays an important role in everyone's life and
yet we often are unaware of it. The need to keep track of the
knowledge acquired through informal learning is increasing as its
sources become increasingly diverse. This paper presents a study
on a tool developed to help keeping track of learners’ informal
learning, both within academic and professional contexts, This
tool, developed within the European Commission funded
TRAILER project, will further integrate the improvements
suggested by users during the piloting phase. The two studied
contexts were similar regarding the importance and perception of
Informal Learning, but differed concerning tool usage. The overall
idea of managing one’s informal learning was well accepted and
welcomed, which validated the emerging need for a tool with this
purpose.Tagging, Recognition and Acknowledgment of Informal Learning ExpeRiences project (TRAILER) that is funded by the European Commission's Lifelong Learning Programme.

Using TRAILER tool for Managing Informal Learning in academic and professional contexts: the learners’ perspective
TRAILER: A Tool for Managing Informal Learning
Even though informal learning plays an important role in everyone’s life, not everyone is aware of its importance. These informal activities contribute to the development of self-regulated learning that can help productivity in different environments. As this kind of apprentices grow, the need to keep track of this developed knowledge is becoming vital. This paper presents a study on the perception and usage of a tool that would help keeping track of learners’ informal learning. This study was conducted both within academic and professional contexts and was developed within the European Commission funded TRAILER project. The contexts were similar regarding the importance and perception of informal learning, but differed concerning tool usage and the usefulness of such a platform. The overall idea of managing one’s informal learning was well accepted and welcomed, which validated the emerging need for a tool with this purpose
Tagging, Recognition, Acknowledgment of Informal Learning experiences (TRAILER)
[EN] Learners do not only learn in the institutions, they learn during their live in different contexts, with different resources and from the interaction with different persons. This kind of learning that is not always intentionally carried out is known as informal learning. The application of Information and Communication Technologies to learning and teaching processes facilitates making visible such kind of learning for the institutions. However the nature of formal and non-formal, coursebased, approaches to learning has made it hard to accommodate these informal processes satisfactorily. The project aims to
facilitate first the identification by the learner (as the last responsible of the learning process), and then the recognition by the institution, in dialogue with the learner, of this learning. To do so a methodology and a technological framework to support it have been implemented and tested

years been making the existence of informal learning more and more
transparent, especially among young and older adults in both Higher Education
and workplace contexts. However, the nature of formal and non-formal, coursebased,
approaches to learning has made it hard to accommodate these informal
processes satisfactorily. The project aims to facilitate first the identification by
the learner (as the last responsible of the learning process), and then the
recognition by the institution, in dialogue with the learner, of this learning. To
do so a methodology and a technological framework to support it have been
implemented. This project has been tested in several contexts showing that an informal learning dialogue between learners and people in charge
of the institutions is possible.Tagging, Recognition and Acknowledgment of Informal Learning ExpeRiences project (TRAILER) that is funded by the European Commission's Lifelong Learning Programme.
