[publication] Useful Oblivion Versus Information Overload in e-Learning: Examples in the context of Wiki Systems

Andreas Holzinger hat gestern unser gemeinsames Paper „Useful Oblivion Versus Information Overload in e-Learning: Examples in the context of Wiki Systems“ auf der ITI 2008 präsentiert.
Im Wesentlichen geht es um die Idee wie man die Unüberschaubarkeit von Wikiinhalten vielleicht besser organisieren kann bzw. wie man die Dynamik wachsender Systeme in den Griff bekommt. Anhand von Visualisation und der Idee der Knotenalterung wurde das Konzept präsentiert:

Information Overload refers to the state of having too much information to make a decision or remain informed about a topic. We present a novel approach of filtering, adapting and visualizing content inside a Wiki knowledge base. Thereby we follow the question of how to optimize the process of learning, with respect to shorter time and higher quality, in face of increasing and changing information. Our work adopts a consolidation mechanism of the human memory, in order to reveal and shape key structures of a Wiki hypergraph. Our hypothesis so far is that visualization of these structures enables a more efficient learning.

[paper accepted] ICL 2008

Mandy Schiefner und ich haben einen Beitrag über „Weblogs, more than just a toy? or Should I keep a e-Portfolio for my PhD study?” für die heurige ICL 2008 in Villach verfasst und dieser wurde angenommen.

Abstract der Publikation:

Weblogs have a great potential to support doctoral studies. By the integration of weblogs in this phase of ones study students have the opportunity to support their self-directed learning process over a long period of time: they resort to a memory-pool of information and ideas, they have an opportunity of metacognition and reflection and they have the opportunity of a discourse with the scientific community. Furthermore a weblog is a great chance to gain reputation in an early phase of the doctoral study. In this article some ideas about weblogs in doctoral studies are argued.

Also dann bis zur ICL 🙂 .
