Special Issue: MashUps for Learning

We are very happy that we can announce that the Special Issue on “MahsUps for Learning” is now published (open access). Togehter with Sandra and Ralf the results of our Workshop at last year ICL Conference are online available:

The special track “Mashups for Learning” (MASHL 2009) took place within the “International Conference on Interactive Computer Aided Learning” (ICL 2009) in Villach, Austria. Personal Learning Environments (PLE) are the application type for mashing up learning services. We asked for contributions for an increasing research field. MASHL 2009 provided an excellent space for discussions in order to improve the learning and teaching routines of tomorrow. This special issue consists of the outcomes of this intensive process with international experts.

Enjoy the papers and we are looking forward to your feedback.

Liste von e-Learning Journals

Eigentlich ist das jetzt ein Gastbeitrag, denn ich habe alle diese Links via Twitter bekommen. Also einen wunderschönen Dank an meine KollegInnen, die mir diese zukommen ließen.
Weiters eine Ergänzung auch zu Mandys Artikel über Twitter – ich bin davon überzeugt, dass man nicht Fragen sollte ob Microblogging zu informellen Lernen oder Lernen überhaupt führt, man muss Twitter & Co. als Kommunikationsmittel ansehen. Es ist einfach eine weitere Möglichkeit mit Personen zu kommunizieren (und eine sehr mächtige, wie sich herausstellt). Das Lernen über Gespräche, Diskussionen eingebettet in sozialen Kontexten passiert, ist dann lediglich der “schöne Nebeneffekt”.

So nun aber die Links (danke nochmals):

Nachsatz: Bin natürlich dankbar für weitere Hinweise zu solch tollen Listen 🙂

[publication] Why We Need Edupunk

I have published an article about the necessity of EduPunk in formal institutions in the Journal of Social Informatics.
Titel: Why We Need Edupunk (Full Article)
Abstract:

Jim Groom coined in his Weblog a new term called EduPunk and expressed his anger about rigid and commercial platforms. He postulated “that taking imaginative experiments of others and wrapping them up as a product that can be bought” is ignoring valuable work of lecturers. By adding three facets Stephen Downes enhanced this definition and thus helped the term to seemingly sweep the edublogosphere.
In an emerging and growing educational field using Web 2.0 applications for teaching and learning purposes the term EduPunk deserves a closer attention. Considering that learning has always been a highly social process EduPunk must be seen as valuable and important way of educating people. EduPuk helps to carry out new didactical approaches and therefore improve the future of teaching and learning.
At Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) a new concept in consequence to this thoughts has been realized. The presented strategy allows combining traditional methods and e-Learning facilities as well as new Web 2.0 applications.
Objective: To present a concept for universities how the WorldWideWeb especially different Web 2.0 applications can be integrated in a daily used Learning Management System (LMS) and allow lecturers to be and become “EduPunks”.
Implementation: The existing learning management system was adapted and extended to the specific needs.
Conclusion: EduPunk as effective strategy for technology enhanced learning.
