[publication] A Stylistic Analysis of Graphic Emoticons: Can they be Candidates for a Universal Visual Language of the Future?

The publication “A Stylistic Analysis of Graphic Emoticons: Can they be Candidates for a Universal Visual Language of the Future?” for ED-Media Conference 2008 is online available.
Abstract:

This paper, describing the current popularity of graphic emoticon usage in Japanese social network services, blogs and mobile phone communication, illustrates that these graphic emoticons are now evolving into ideographic images as substitutes for words or phrases from accessory markers showing the emotional state of the writer. It will be argued that the behavior of these graphic emoticons will give us valuable insights for implementing a universal auxiliary visual language that will overcome the barrier of language differences. Possible educationproposed.

[publication] A Blog Sphere for Higher Education

The publication “A Blog Sphere for Higher Education” for ED-Media Conference 2008 is online available.
Abstract:

Blogs are an important part of the rapidly developing Web 2.0 phenomenon that revolutionizes the current World Wide Web. It thus makes sense for universities to investigate whether blogs can support teaching and learning. Our paper describes the installation and deployment of a blog sphere for Graz University of Technology based on the open source software ELGG and extended by us with new features that are essential for teaching and learning. This paper summarizes the first experiences that have been made within one year since launching our TU Graz LearnLand. We describe how the use of weblogs for teaching and learning purposes will need not only further extension but also a new approach to the teaching process.

So nun ist auch die Publikation der heurigen Microlearning Konferenz online: Has the end of chalkboard come? A survey about the limits of Interactive Pen Displays in Higher Education
Hier der Abstract:

This paper tracks the question how the usage of an interactive pen display benefits teaching at universities. The advantages and disadvantages as well as important didactical aspects that need to be concerned in this context are discussed. First results of a survey on the application area of interactive pen displays for higher education purpose that was carried out at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) in winter term 2007/08 are reflected. Although the results of the survey are surprisingly significant in favour of the interactive pen display overall strategies for a widespread usage at universities are recommended.
