Psycho-pedagogical Mash-Up Design for Personalising the Learning Environment

The purpose of this paper is to support the creation of a Personalised Learning Environment (PLE) in a psycho-pedagogical sound way. In our approach a PLE is a mash-up of widgets, small tools, which are arranged together. In order to support the compilation of the individual learning environment, educational components have been identified, which might influence the perception of mash-up designs form a learners' point of view. These identified educational components are the basis to link widgets to psycho-pedagogical information, such as learning strategies and techniques or competences of a learner. Different guidelines have been derived to support learners or tutors to mash-up a PLE with different widgets. Implementation and evaluation approaches are introduced regarding the usefulness and effectiveness of the presented guidelines.
