In distance learning contexts, such as those are being widely promoted and developed with the extensive use of {ICT} {(Information} and Communication Technology) some important issues have to be carefully addressed, in order to make education more effective and available. Distant students have to face sound organizational problems concerning the working time-management and the regulation of all the learning process. These are far more complex at a distance because of the difficulties to understand and objectively evaluate how the study is progressing in term of knowledge and competence acquisition, both for the students themselves and for the teacher who is supposed to adjust the teaching process in case of need. Moreover, the absence of clear indication for the student of the relative level of importance of each piece of information available comes to be another key issue in distance education. This paper describes a Web- based authoring system, the Learning Tutor, conceived to cover these issues. The environment is composed by several interconnected authoring systems: {“The} Course Description, the Guiding Thread and the Agendaâ€, {“The} Work Plan and Themes Reviewerâ€, and {“The} Quizzes self-evaluation facilityâ€. This model of combined tools aims at providing the suitable support for organization, work and time management in distance learning processes using well documented mastery learning principles. |
