Abstract

In this paper we discuss the findings related to our research on the paradigm of Negotiation-Driven Learning (NDL). Fully-negotiated OLMs have employed different negotiation mechanisms to support learner learning and reflection. In NDL research we are trying to combine and extend the best practices of previous OLMs to enhance the role of negotiations and promote cognitive and metacognitive learning in the context of fully-negotiated OLMs. This paper describes the findings of our research and introduces the NDLtutor, which is the realization of the NDL paradigm.
