• larg: LARG specification for which recommendations are requested.
• learning_activities: If present, this parameter defines a subset of Learning Activities in the
LARG for which recommendations are requested.
• max_results: If present, indicates the maximum number of recommendations returned for
each requirement.
Result:
A list of Learning Activities, with information on which requirements can be satisfied, and a list of
recommended events for each requirement.
Note: Methods Recommend.Learning.Contents, Recommend.People and Recommend.
Tools are similar to Recommend.Events, except that the type of target resource is different.
No further description is provided in this document for these later methods. A detailed
description is available in Appendix III.
Search.Events
Returns events in the knowledge base satisfying the restrictions specified.
Input Parameters:
• event_requirement: Specification of the requirements that must be satisfied by the target
events. This specification can be an actual event (Direct Requirement) to be used as a
model, or a list of the characteristics desired for the events (Specification Requirement). In
the former case, similar events will be returned to the one provided as a model.
• max_results: If provided, this parameter defines the maximum number of resources
returned.
Result:
A list of events sorted according to the level of satisfaction of the specified requirements.
Note: Methods Search.Learning.Contents, Search.People and Search.Tools are similar to
Search.Events. The only difference is the type of resource on which the KB search will be
performed. The first parameter of these methods also depends on the type of resource
(learning_content_requirement, person_requirement or tool_requirement). A full description
is available in Appendix III.
1.1.1.4. LARG Validation
Methods in this section facilitate the analysis of the resources selected by a teacher by validating
the degree of satisfaction of the requirements in each of the Learning Activities in the LARG.
Methods
Validate.LARG
It analyses whether the current selection of resources (Tool, Person, Event and Learning Content)
satisfies the requirements defined by the set of Learning Activities included in the LARG.
Input Parameters:
