Building a new course is a complex task for teachers: the entire process requires different steps, starting with the concept map building and ending with the delivery of the learning objects to students through a learning management system. Teachers have to spend a lot of time to build or to retrieve the right learning material from local databases or from specialized repositories on the web. Consequently, having a system supporting this phase is a very important challenge, considering that each teacher expresses her own pedagogy as well. Here we propose a novel Teacher Model that helps teachers to build new courses effectively. The model is based both on a didactic semantic network containing concepts and learning material and on Teaching Styles as proposed in the literature by Grasha. This framework gives teachers the possibility to share their teaching experience as well. A first experimentation of the system gives positive results.

Abstract
Building a new course is a complex task for teachers: the entire process requires different steps, starting with the concept map building and ending with the delivery of the learning objects to students through a learning management system. Teachers have to spend a lot of time to build or to retrieve the right learning material from local databases or from specialized repositories on the web. Consequently, having a system supporting this phase is a very important challenge, considering that each teacher expresses her own pedagogy as well. Here we propose a novel Teacher Model that helps teachers to build new courses effectively. The model is based both on a didactic semantic network containing concepts and learning material and on Teaching Styles as proposed in the literature by Grasha. This framework gives teachers the possibility to share their teaching experience as well. A first experimentation of the system gives positive results.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
