eLearning Papers: Persönliche Lernumgebungen

Wie immer Gutes aus e-teaching.org: “Die neue Ausgabe der eLearning Papers, eine Publikation von elearningeuropa.info ist erschienen. Im Mittelpunkt steht diesmal das Thema Persönliche Lernumgebungen:

“Die heutigen Lernmanagementsysteme (LMS) können als Inseln empfunden werden – Inseln im weiten Ozean der Lernmöglichkeiten, die das Internet bietet. Es können nicht nur Inhalte bezogen, verbessert und ausgewählt werden; die Lerner können auch Tools übernehmen, die ihnen für ihre Zwecke nützlich erscheinen, ihre eigenen, individuell gestalteten Lernportale einrichten, Inhalte etikettieren oder sich für RSS-Feeds registrieren lassen, deren Inhalte für sie von Bedeutung sind.

Das Schlüsselwort „Web 2.0“ ermöglicht den Umstieg von Standard-Lernmanagementsystemen (Universal-Methode) zu Personalisierten Lernumgebungen (Individual-Methode) aus gezielt ausgewählten Elementen, Sammlungen von Tools und Diensten, die zu individuellen, eventuell geteilten Wissens-, Erfahrungs- und Kontaktlandschaften zusammengestellt werden, einen Übergang vom Inselparadigma der LMS-Methode zum Verständnis des Internets als Tor, als Portal für Lernchancen.”

Serious Games Initiative

Virtuallearning world (wird gerade von Google wegen Trojanern gedisst) schreibt: “An interesting conversation took place on the Serious Games list this week. Kam Memarzia put out a great list of ‘10 commandments’ for serious game design and development…” Und hier gehts zur besagten LISTE:

“The Serious Games Initiative is focused on uses for games in exploring management and leadership challenges facing the public sector. Part of its overall charter is to help forge productive links between the electronic game industry and projects involving the use of games in education, training, health, and public policy.

Learn a language online

Freie Lerninhalte (Open Education Conten usw.) rocken - und sind weiter im Kommen. Hier eine Liste von freien Sprachlern-Tools. Aus MSN: “There are thousands of online sources out there, here’s a few to get started:

* Dictionary.com has a multilingual dictionary, word-of-the-day and games and puzzles features …”

Five Themes for the Web 2.0 Learner

Ein lesenswerter Beitrag aus Mission To Learn: “In my previous posting I mentioned that Mission to Learn turned one on May 15. As chance would have it, I spoke on a Web 2.0 panel that morning at the annual meeting of Medbiquitous, the organization that was the subject of my very first posting here on Mission to Learn. My topic for the panel was “The Personal Knowledge Management Challenge: A New Learning Literacy for Web 2.0.”

As is usually the case, I had to submit an abstract many months before actually appearing to speak, and in the interim, my thinking about the topic evolved considerably. Preparation essentially became an exercise in retracing my own experiences of learning in a Web 2.0 world over the past year and trying to extract key themes. As usual, I looked to many who are wiser than I for guidance. Here is what I have arrived at so far: … und ab hier lesen Sie bitte selbst weiter >>

Edupunk, die 2te

Stephen Downers legt nach (siehe Post von gestern): “We’ve had a lot of fun this week with the Edupunk concept, with reactions ranging from “oh please” to “don’t be s sarcastic”. It doesn’t really matter whether the term ‘edupunk’ has any staying power, what matters - to me - is the awareness of the idea that it at least, for the moment, signifies. Today, we have Brian lamb with a lot of punk (seriously, a lot of punk), Clarence Fisher asking are we a virtual organization (not strictly edupunk, but I’m counting it), more on the yippie, from Doug Noon, edupunk heroes from D’Arcy Norman, bowling alone from Mike Caulfield.

Claro: “Introducing Edupunk”

GRREAT: The concept of Edupunk has totally caught wind, spreading through the blogosphere like wildfire. This post summarizes several recent posts and offers something like a definition (I would like to think that true edupunks deride definitions as tools of oppression used by defenders of order and conformity): “edupunk is student-centered, resourceful, teacher- or community-created rather than corporate-sourced, and underwritten by a progressive political stance.

Barbara Ganley’s philosophy of teaching and digital expression is an elegant manifestation of edupunk. Nina Simon, with her imaginative ways of applying web 2.0 philosophies to museum exhibit design, offers both low- and high-tech edupunk visions. Edupunk, it seems, takes old-school Progressive educational tactics–hands-on learning that starts with the learner’s interests–and makes them relevant to today’s digital age, sometimes by forgoing digital technologies entirely.”

Brian Lamb, edupunk DJ extrordinaire, offers a distribute3d publishing framework screencast (distributed publishing is very edupunk) and writes “another dirty edupunk is bacvk on the streets.” Jim Groom tells us that BlogHer nailed the definition of edupunk. He also ponders edupunk anthems - to which list I have to offer Alice Cooper’s School’s Out. And he offers examples of edupunk from the annals of murder, madness and mayhem (talk about running with a theme). Dave Warlick also comments. (And that’s the entire world literature on ‘edupunk’ to date.) Leslie Madsen Brooks, BlogHer, May 29, 2008. [Link] [Tags: Schools, Online Learning, Books, Flickr, Web Logs] [Previous][Next]
