The purpose of the OER platform (“Ariadna.education”) is to create digital

learning paths for students. A digital learning path is a computer-guided learning process, in which different learning steps are completed in a well-considered sequence. The different steps follow a well-considered didactic pattern, which is built up in a deductive way.

Successively there is a motivation phase, an information phase and a memorisation phase in the learning process. Each phase in turn is made up of sub-phases (in which the learning process is built up from global over analytical

to synthesis and from concrete over schematic to abstract).

The platform is a customised version of Moodle, from which all unnecessary plugins and functions have been removed to improve the speed and user experience (UX). Security updates have been used. The platform has an

improved theme (user interface: UI) with a focus on user experience. The platform uses multiple cache systems to be able to accommodate a big number of users. The default text editor was extended to include an advanced equation editor for interactive applications and quizzes. For the creation of digital learning paths, the

Moodle core plugins were updated, optimised and got a new user interface (UI) and user

experience (UX). There are third party tools integrated into the platform (such as H5P.org and other learningapps) to be able to create and use multiple types of digital learning and there is also a way to work with digital simulations. There is an LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) activated to be able to integrate more third party tools to be used

inside the platform for creating and using these tools inside the digital learning paths.

After several discussions in the team, we have arrived at a definitive fixed structure for the learning paths, which will be generated automatically: 1. Motivation phase: with the possibility of subdivision into: step 1, step 2, step 3,...2. Information phase: with the possibility of subdivision into: step 1, step 2, step 3, ...3. Consolidation phase: with the possibility of subdivision into: step 1, step 2, step 3, ...After considering stakeholder and student feedback, we are working on the following improvements to Ariadna.education:- The form to create a learning path was converted from a static form to a drag and drop mode functionality. - The layout of the platform was be adjusted :whiteness was replaced by more colours, the different technical fields were distinguished by colours and icons, in the rectangles of the learningpaths. -The static picture on the homesccreen was replaced by dynamic views.
