Responsive open learning environments (ROLEs) are the next generation
of personal learning environments (PLEs). While PLEs rely on the
simple aggregation of existing content and services mainly using
Web 2.0 technologies, ROLEs are transforming lifelong learning by
introducing a new infrastructure on a global scale while dealing
with existing learning management systems, institutions, and technologies.
The requirements engineering process in highly populated test-beds
is as important as the technology development. In this paper, we
will describe first experiences deploying ROLEs at two higher learning
institutions in very different cultural settings. The Shanghai Jiao
Tong University in China and at the Center for Learning and Knowledge
Management and Department of Information Management in Mechanical
Engineering (ZLW/IMA) at RWTH Aachen University have exposed ROLEs
to theirs students in already established courses. The results demonstrated
to readiness of the technology for large-scale trials and the benefits
for the students leading to new insights in the design of ROLEs also
for more informal learning situations.
