E-Learning bei der Langen Nacht der Forschung

Lange Nacht der ForschungWir sind der heurigen Einladung gefolgt und werden auch aktiv am 7. November an der österreichweiten „Langen Nacht der Forschung“ teilnehmen. Hier findet man die Details wann wo wer sein wird.
Das Ziel ist einerseits zu zeigen was in Sachen e-Learning bereits umgesetzt wird und dann auch noch Einblick in die Forschung zu geben, Trends und zukünftige Entwicklungen aufzuzeigen.

E-Learning ist heute bereits mehr als nur ein Schlagwort und aus dem alltäglichen Lehr- und Lernbetrieb nicht mehr wegzudenken. Im Rahmen dieser Station wird sowohl der Stand der Technik (wie wird heute bereits Lehre mithilfe digitaler Technologien umgesetzt) als auch aktuelle Forschung gezeigt. Mit einem speziellen Augenmerk auf mobile Technologien können BesucherInnen selbst praktische Erfahrungen sammeln.

Wir freuen uns auf möglichst viele Besucher die interessiert sind wie Lehren und Lernen in Zukunft aussehen kann – auf viele Diskussionen und unterschiedliche Sichtweisen 🙂 .

[publication] Personal Learning Environments for Higher Education: A Mashup Based Widget Concept

Our paper about “Personal Learning Environment for Higher Education – A MashUp Based Widget Concept” within the MUPPLE 09 Workshop at this year ECTEL conference is now online available (presentation).
Abstract:

Due to the enormous growth of distributed applications, services, tools and resources, it is not easy for end users to come across existing services, manage and use them in a matter which is customized according to their personal needs. Mashups can be a very interesting approach to overcome challenges of distributed (unknown) services. Using mashups in a Personal Learning Environment (PLE) can help to connect resources and applications in one environment customized to the needs of individual users. In this paper a first approach and the concept of a PLE especially for higher education is described. The technological concept is introduced and design issues are pointed out as well as the first prototype is described.

[publication] Visualizing Research Patterns in the Field of e- Learning

Our publication about „Visualizing Research Patterns in the Field of e- Learning“ for this Science 2.0 for TEL Workshop at ECTEL conference is now online available.
Abstract:

In this paper we have performed a content analysis of Ed-Media conferences publications from 2003 to 2008 using our internally built visualization tool to realize various research patterns in the field of e-learning. We identified 3668 different research terms from 4607 articles’ titles. The visualization tool revealed the trends of contributions in the field over the years, evolution or decline of research terms, hot research terms, key researchers, leading institutions and nations across the world, evolution of countries, continents and institutions in comparison to each other. The results in this study will allow novice and experienced educators, researchers in the field of e- learning to understand what kind of different research terms exist and to identify different research patterns over the last six years in this field.

[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.

[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.
