[poster] TUGLL Plug-ins: Special Needs for a University Wide Blogosphere

Today we present during the poster session of the triple-i conference in graz our short paper about „TUGLL Plug-ins: Special Needs for a University Wide Blogosphere„.
We introduce to our ELGG-based TU Graz LearnLand which is used university-wide and point out our own developments:

TUGLL is the campus wide blogosphere used by students and staff at Graz University of Technology since october 2006. It bases on ELGG which is an open source networking engine designed to
handle common web applications and social functionality. Users can establish digital identities and connect with other users, collaborate with them and discover new resources through their
connections. Following plug-ins and extension were implemented to enhance the blogosphere with “special needs”by department of social learning after a year of experience.

Here you can get the poster (.pdf, 6.1MB). The short paper will follow soon.

Beni’s talk can be seen here – I streamed it live via QIK:

Zertifikat eLearning Kurs: Web 2.0 und E-Learning 2.0

Zertifikat e-LearningDie TU Graz wird ab heuer am Zertifikat eLearning als Partner teilnehmen. Das Zertifikat eLearning kann folgendermaßen beschrieben werden:

Das Zertifikat eLearning ist eine gemeinsame Initiative von Universitäten, Fachhochschulen und regionalen Bildungsverbänden mit dem Ziel, ihren Bediensteten bzw. Mitgliedern eine fundierte Weiterbildung im Bereich eLearning und Neue Medien zu bieten. Die teilnehmenden Organisationen tauschen dabei Kursplätze und Online-Materialien, d.h. öffnen geeignete Kurse für TeilnehmerInnen aus Partnerinstitutionen und anerkennen die Teilnahmebestätigungen bzw. Zeugnisse solcher Kurse. Das Zertifikat eLearning ist auch ein gegenseitig anerkanntes Zeugnis, das nach Absolvierung der vorgesehenen Kurse ausgestellt werden kann.

Ich werde ein Seminar zum Thema „Web 2.0 und E-Learning 2.0“ anbieten und hoffe natürlich, dass es auf Interesses stößt. Wer also teilnehmen möchte findet hier mehr Details.

[publication] The ABC-eBook System: From Content Management Application to Mash-up Landscape

Now our last publication at ED-Media 2008 Conference „The ABC-eBook System: From Content Management Application to Mash-up Landscape“ is online available.
Abstract:

This paper presents a complete new application for creating content for teaching and learning purposes at universities in the meaning of eLearning2.0, the ABC-Manager. The paper focuses on the advantages of the tool as well as its didactical background in comparison to other common CMSs. The current use of the ABC-Manager as an integrated part of the e-Learning strategy of Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) especially in the face of its online version (eBook of the TU Graz TeachCenter) is discussed. Furthermore an adequate scenario for the use of the ABC-eBook System embedded in a mashup environment following the principles of Web2.0 is recommended.

[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.
