Abstract

Dialogic learning and interactive groups have proved to be a useful methodological approach applied/nin educational situations for lifelong adult learners. The principles of this approach stress the/nimportance of dialogue and equal participation also when designing the training activities. This paper/nadopts these principles as the basis for a configurable template that can be integrated in runtime/nsystems. The template is formulated as a meta-UoL which can be interpreted by IMS Learning Design/nplayers. This template serves as a guide to flexibly select and edit the activities at runtime (on the fly)./nThe meta-UoL has been used successfully by a practitioner so as to create a real-life example, with/npositive and encouraging results
