Summary of Special Track MASHL 2009
The Special Track on “MashUps for Learning (MASHL09)” within the ICL 2009 conference is over and Sandra and I are very happy that we had a great time, great presentations as well as discussions. We like to thank also our „Best Paper Award“ sponsored by ROLE project (represented by Ralf Klamma) for their help.
Again, thanks to Michael Auer to be part of his conference, to all presenters for their great work as well as all participants to create such successful sessions.
A special thanks also to Sandra from mine for creating the overview slides, the YouTube Video and for the great team work – it was simply a pleasure to work with you:

[publication] Personal Learning Environment – A Conceptual Study
Our publication about „Personal Learning Environment – A Conceptual Study“ at the Special Track on „MashUps for Learning (MASHL09)“ within the ICL 2009 conference is now online available.
Abstract:
The influence of digital technologies as well as the World Wide Web on education rises dramatically. In former years Learning Management Systems (LMS) were introduced on educational institutes to address the needs both their institutions and their lecturers. Nowadays a shift from an institution-centred approach to a learner- centred one becomes necessary to allow individuality through the learning process and to think about learning strategies in general. In this paper a first approach of a Personal Learning Environment (PLE) is described. The technological concept is pointed out as well as a study about the graphical user-interface done at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz). It can be concluded that PLEs are the next generation environments, which help to improve the learning and teaching behaviour.

[ebook, workshop] e-Learning, Lernen heute/morgen
Ich bin gebeten im Rahmen des 30. österreichischen Bibliothekertag hier in Graz einen Workshop rund um das Thema e-Learning, Technology Enhanced Learning und wie Lernen in Zukunft ausschaut zu halten.
Die Unterlagen habe ich in ein eBook rund um das Thema zusammengefasst und diese sind hier öffentlich zugänglich. Weiters gibt es auch ein .pdf mit dem Nachteil dass die vielen Filme und eingebetteten Präsentationen nicht abgebildet sind.

Ich würde sagen ein Song der unsereins doch zum Nachdenken bringt und motiviert weiter daran zu arbeiten die Bildung mit der Technologie zu vereinen:

[article] Weaving Social E-learning Platforms Into The Web of Linked Data
My colleague Behnam Taraghi and his friend also contributed to this year i-Know Conference and presented a publication on „Weaving Social E-learning Platforms Into the Web of Linked Data„. I think who is interested in this topic it’s worth to take a look.
Abstract:
In this paper we present an approach for interlinking and RDFising social e-Learning Web 2.0 platforms like ELGG based on semantic tagging and Linked Data principles. A special module called SID (Semantically Interlinked Data) was developed to allow existing tagged and published user generated content an easy entrance into the Web of Data and to enrich it semantically on the other hand. Our approach uses commonly known vocabularies (FOAF, SIOC, MOAT and Tag Ontology) for modelling and generation tasks along with DBPedia as reference dataset for interlinking.
[presentation] Will PLEs Become Ubiquitous through the Use of Widgets?
[publication] Will Personal Learning Environments Become Ubiquitous through the Use of Widgets?
Our publication „Will Personal Learning Environments Become Ubiquitous through the Use of Widgets?“ for this year i-Know Conference is now online available.
Abstract:
Nowadays Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) are described as the use of different social software tools for learning and teaching. The use of common web browsers often is a precondition to fulfil the requirements of social software tools. In this publication a new perspective as well as a couple of prototypes is presented to allow a more independent solution in this context. Using the new JavaFX technology so called widgets are implemented which can be used on different devices as well as different operating systems. Furthermore also the web browser can be replaced by a browser instance. It can be summarized that through the use of widgets the learning environment of the future can be more individualized and personalized.
