Abstract

With todays increased use of digitization in education and society there are needs for innovative educational strategies for enhancing learning and teaching. In addition, there are rising demands on embracing new digital learning and educational environments and integration of the social context, such as social interactions outside the formal institutional settings and social media to enhance new digital educational practices. This paper introduce the concept of next generation digital learning environment (NGDLE), and explore one inititave named Eurekos, from Mentorix, Denmark, but now from EUREKOS, which has been tested and in practical use for many learners and courses, especilly in the Netherlands, and Denmark. The architects behind EUREKOS follow the successful characteristic of a Personal learning environment (PLE), i.e. learn with other people, control of own learning resources, integrate learning from different institutions and sources, and manage activities. Eurekos provides course building facilities, learning teams, and a social hub integrated with social media. Eurekos can be likened to a LEGO baseplate. It integrates interoperability, personalization, learning analytics, collaboration, and a universal design with social media and the necessary software,
