[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.
Final program of Special Track at ICL2009 online
Mashups for Learning
A track organised by:
Dr. Sandra Schaffert, Salzburg Research, Austria
Dr. Martin Ebner, Graz University of Technology, Austria
The special track “Mashups for Learning” (MASHL2009) takes place within the “International Conference on Interactive Computer Aided Learning” (ICL) in Villach, Austria.
Here you can find again the CALL for Paper.
Now we can announce the final program (including 4 Full Papers and 3 Short Papers) of the two sessios which will take place on Thursday, 24/09/2009 – we are looking forward to great discussions about the topics:
Online Round Table on „Open Content“
I am happy that we can invite to the first Online Round Table on „Open Content“ which will lead to the upcoming EduCamp Event in Graz, Austria (November, 6-7):
The first online event is already next Monday (September 14). Martin Weller and Martin Lindner will be our guest speakers. They will guide us through an informal discussion around ‘Open Content’, a topic that will certainly generate a lively debate. Make sure to contribute to it too. 😉 We look forward to ‘seeing’ you there.
The details about the speakers, their talks as well as how you will be able to contribute you will find here.
[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.
