Towards Personalized Learning Paths to Empower Competence Development in Model Driven Engineering through the ENCORE platform

Developing engaging learning experiences is costly and complicated. Open Educational Resources (OERs) offer the possibility of reuse, creating opportunities for more efficient and effective development of learning, including the potential for truly personalised learning through adaptive learning management platforms. To make this a reality, we need to address two challenges: (1) for OERs to become effective there need to be tools that allow them to be reused efficiently from high-level designs of learning experiences, and (2) for such high-level tools to work, we need to establish a robust infrastructure that treats OERs as components, akin to software components, complete with well-defined interfaces. The latter is particularly challenging for learning resources on MDE, because of the often complex tool environments required. In this paper, we propose a platform for personalized learning design based on OERs and provide initial insights into component formats within the context of teaching about model-driven engineering.
