The following Use Cases describe how the ims-ld package for .LRN can be applied in different situations. Some of these Use Cases have been inspired for the experience in the E-LANE project . The ims-ld package for .LRN will have a wide range of capabilities and it could be applied to a wide range of powerful pedagogies and scenarios. Here we explain different Use Cases where this package can be used. The Use Cases doesn't present the detailed diagram about the interactions between the different roles involved, but they can be easily deduced from the given - explanation.

The benefits of working with groups of students in order to learn are well known. The ims-ld package allows this approach in several ways. It allows to define different roles which in the execution time will be transformed in different groups. Each group can receive a common problem to solve, being in a common forum, chat, etc. Also, there can be different groups with people of different roles, where each person has to do a different task in order to get the work done, which at the end - is discussed by all members of the group.

The ims-ld package allows to produce different ways of Collaborative Learning. For example, it can establish that until a certain group doesn't finish one set of activities, then the following activity will not begin. This can be done thanks to the conditoins of the different acts. It also allows the interaction between people with, for example, the notifications of the Level C of IMS-LD. Also, for the Collaborative Learning, the chat, forums, etc. can be used.
