[video] Schule und Lernen der Zukunft

Im Rahmen meines Seminars „Technology Enhanced Learning“ haben wir uns Gedanken gemacht wie die Zukunft von Schule und Lernen aussehen könnte. Dabei sind Videos entstanden und eines davon ist in Gesprächen mit Kindern dieser Frage nachgegangen. Zurücklehnen, genießen und auch nachdenken über die Aussagen die hier ganz frei von der Leber weg getroffen werden:

[publication] The Influence of Twitter on the Academic Environment

A draft version of our chapter on „The Influence of Twitter on the Academic Environment“ within the book „Social Media and the New Academic Environment: Pedagogical Challenges“ is now online available. For the full chapter visit the website.
Abstract:

In the last few years, microblogging has become a phenomenon of our daily lives. Communicating, sharing media files, as well as acting on digital social communities platforms using mobile devices assist our everyday activities in a complete new way. Therefore, it is very reasonable that academic environments are influenced arbitrarily too. In this publication, different settings for the use of microblogging are pointed out – for teaching and learning as well as for further scientific purposes such as professional conferences. It can be summarized that there are different possibilities to use microblogging in an academic context; each of them are new advantages for the academic life. The publication gives a short overview and a first insight into the various ways to use microblogging.

[presentation] Warum Open Educational Resources?

Im Rahmen eines DaF-Webinars werde ich heute über das Thema Open Educational Resources reden – warum ist diese Entwicklung so wesentlich und worum brauchen wie OER-Materialien zwingend für das Klassenzimmer von morgen.
All das hoff ich mit diesen Folien gut zur Geltung zu bringen:

BIMS e.V. in neuem Gewand

Einer unserer Parnter BIMS e.V. erstrahlt nun in neuem Gewand. Beachtenswert welche einschlägigen Projekte sich im Laufe der Jahre hier schon angesammelt haben und welche Vorreiterrolle der Verein am Sektor der frei zugänglichen Bildungsressourcen bereits einnimmt.

Der BIMS e.V. ist eine Plattform für das gemeinnützige Engagement einiger Wissenschaftler und Praktiker („think-and-do-tank“) aus dem Bildungsbereich. Wir beschäftigen uns in unterschiedlichen Initiativen damit, wie Bildung und Bildungsangebote für alle erreichbar und frei zugänglich werden können: Die Bildungsprämie, der freie Zugang zu Bildungsmaterialien und Forschungsergebnissen und der Einsatz von neuen Medien für kleine Unternehmen und das Lernen damit stehen dabei derzeit im Vordergrund. Zusätzlich versuchen wir mit eigenem politischen Engagement und vielen Initiativen bei politischen Entscheidungsträgern und der Bevölkerung ein entsprechend erweitertes Bewusstsein für diese Problematik zu erreichen.

Hier geht es zur neuen und sehr übersichtlichen Homepage des Vereins.

[publication] Mobile Learning as a chance to enhance education in developing countries – on the example of Ghana

Our contribution to the mlearn 2012 conference in Helsinki, Finland is now online available. Margarete presented their her PhD-Work about the issue „mLearning in Sub Sahara Africa“.
Abstract:

Education has become one of the biggest public enterprises in Ghana, taking about 11 percent of the GDP, enrolling about a quarter of the population in schools and other educational services (EDU 2011). The need for content, the demands of young people, requesting material for self-conducted learning, the lack of teachers, the small proportion of trained teachers and the lack of equipment in schools in rural areas are a huge challenge. The advancement of technology and high mobile penetration rates in developing countries has broadened the horizon of education. One possibility to overcome the problems is the application of the concept of mobile learning (called m-Learning). At first, it is required to describe the current situation in Ghana; this includes the identification of stakeholders as well as corresponding and influencing factors, which have to be taken in consideration when planning a holistic m-Learning-model for Ghana. M-Learning implies inherently a chance in the didactical approach. In the next step, together with a group of teachers in Ghana, research will be done, aiming at the implementation of a sustainable m-Learning concept for secondary education. Integrating teachers in the first phase is a necessity, since it supports the development of a pedagogical concept, which is necessary for a change in pedagogical practice to integrate m-Learning in daily practice.
