Abstract

This paper introduces a Web 2.0 application, Edu-AREA, which offers a dynamic space to support the development of lesson plans and to promote teaching innovation. The development of lesson plans is proposed in a wide way, both in accordance to their lifecycle, covering design, monitoring, reflection and evolution, as well as in accordance to their dimension, taking into account all the educational activities and resources involved, and the educational and technological context in which they are carried out. Following the Web 2.0 principles we promote users as the key stakeholders of the application, providing the resources and activities, managing the lesson plans, classifying and ensuring the quality of the elements, etc. In order to support users on these tasks, this paper introduces a proposal to provide an automatic estimation of a reputation index for users and a relevance index for elements (e.g. resources, activities). The proposal is based on the HITS algorithm and on the actual usage or resources by users in Edu-AREA. The purpose of these indexes is to provide some measurement about the quality and relevance and also references for the calculation of recommendations.
