[publication] Podcasting at TU Graz

Die Publikation „Podcasting at TU Graz: How to Implement Podcasting as a Didactical Method for Teaching and Learning Purposes at a University of Technology“ auf der ED-Media Konferenz 2008 ist nun online verfügbar.
Abstract:

In this paper a way is reflected how the didactical power of podcasting is used for teaching and learning purposes at “Graz University of Technology” (TU Graz) since more than
one year. The variety of different didactical scenarios that are in practice is presented and argued as well as the workflow behind. Advantages and disadvantages of software, hardware and methods that are worked with are discussed. Examples and first evaluations give an overview of how far podcasting is welcomed by teachers and students and tops the paper off.

[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.
