## Definition[edit | edit source]

The Learner Interaction Scripting Language (LISL) is a design language model for creating, managing, maintaining, and learning about learning environment design. It is complemented by a proof of concept, the Mash-up Personal Learning Environments (MUPPLE) platform.

## The language[edit | edit source]

"Basically, we break down the learning context into situations which describe the physical and social environment of learners. In such a situation, a learner is engaged in a so-called activity which consists of actions and includes tools, artefacts, and other actors (facilitators or peers). In contrast to instructional design, these actions represent more prominently commands for self-organising the learning process." (Wild et al. 2008: 6)

## Example[edit | edit source]

Copyright notice: The following example (figures) were copied from Wild et al. 2008

Semantic model behind MUPPLE, including the exemplary activity 'Getting to Know Each Other' LISL code for the exemplary learning activity 'Getting to know each other'.

* Lines 1 to 7 define abstract actions
* publish, bookmark, all self-description and my list of self-descriptions are associated with a tool
* browse, self-description and selected self-description are defined with a tool
* Lines 8 and 9 define web-based tools (that can be later used in actions).
* Lines 10-13 define actions that make up the activity.

## Discussion[edit | edit source]

Daniel K. Schneider thinks that LISL/MUPPLE is quite a promising approach since it combines 2 features:

* Use of various on-line services, e.g. from the every increasing List of web 2.0 applications
* Integration of personal learning environment features (the learner can choose his own tool from some activities allow).
