OMiLAB@APU is dedicated to the exploration and application of Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) approaches in Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL).

Our lab focuses on bridging the gap between instructional requirements and software architectures promoting infrastructures that facilitate TEL system implementation. We provide a well-defined framework for researchers to innovate within. Our competences include competence modeling, proficiency level understanding, and competence development. We believe in harnessing the power of MDE to create effective, adaptive, and collaborative learning systems. Our goal is to leverage technology to enhance learning processes and help individuals develop the skills they need in an increasingly digital world.
Competences
- Competence Modeling – This involves understanding how to model and represent competence-related information in a system meaningful way. It’s about defining the skills, knowledge, and abilities required for a particular task or job and then creating a model that represents these elements.
- Proficiency Level Understanding – This involves understanding the different levels of proficiency in a particular skill or competency. It’s about being able to assess a person’s level of competence and provide appropriate training to improve their skills.
- Competence Development – This involves designing and implementing training programs that target specific competences. It’s about using technology to enhance the learning process and help individuals develop the skills they need.
