The ethnic educational digital resources with ludic content encourage indigenous communities to use technology as a mean to strengthen the language,culture and support the preservation of its roots. From the ludic, we seek the learner to think and act in the midst of a situation that was built with resemblance to their reality and according to a pedagogical purpose. In this work ludic ethnic-educational resources aimed at fostering cultural identity are proposed, as well as the acquisition of knowledge and enclosing various interactive activities under a unique cosmic vision of Colombian indigenous communities.

The aim of this paper is to propose a multi-agent model which incorporates context awareness characteristics in order to support collaborative learning activities into virtual learning environments by using Ontologies and Awareness Services. The characteristics related to contextual monitoring, group interaction, and the alerts offered by the model allow students and teachers to be aware about the learning situation and the progress of collaborative activities proposed. Furthermore, ontologies are used to model the different students learning styles, as well as the strengths and weaknesses exhibited by a specific group. The Awareness Services built are used to monitoring collaborative processes such as group participation,learning activity progress, shared agendas, among others. Based on the model proposed, a prototype was implemented and validated through a case study. Considering the obtained results by using each of the technologies proposed to support collaborative learning processes we can conclude the effectiveness of the model.
