Summary

The actual web offers a wide catalogue of tools (the so called web 2.0 applications) that are related to many different topics. Most of those tools can be used in educational practices to facilitate activities. IMS Learning Design (IMS LD) is a specification that allows reusing activity sequences of arbitrary complexity. Therefore, a sequence (called UoL) that has shown to be successful can be used several times at a low implementation cost. When introducing web 2.0 tools as part of one of these sequences we find that the resulting UoL loses the most relevant IMS LD characteristics: interoperability, reusing capacity, adaptability and collaboration capacity.

Generic Service Integration (GSI) is a proposal that extends the IMS LD possibilities and allows the web 2.0 tools integration in an activity sequence without losing the previously mentioned characteristics. The talk will focus on the use experiences developed by the GSI proposal and the related conclusions.
