8. Blogcarnival: Sind Edu- oder BarCamps nur eine Modeerscheinung?
Es freut mich ganz besonders, dass ich zum 8. Carnival des Wissenwert Blogs einladen darf und ich nahm das bevorstehende EduCamp in Graz als Anlass um der Community folgende Frage zu stellen:
Mit dieser durchaus provokanten Frage möchte ich eigentlich diese Form einer Zusammenkunft durchaus kritisch reflektieren. Ich bin wirklich gespannt auf die Vorschläge, Meinungen und Eindrücke die ihr schildert, d.h. beteiligt euch daran und wir können die Ergebenisse ja gerne auch am EduCamp in einer Session diskutieren.
Hier geht’s zum Carnival.

[publication] Visualizing Research Patterns in the Field of e- Learning
Our publication about „Visualizing Research Patterns in the Field of e- Learning“ for this Science 2.0 for TEL Workshop at ECTEL conference is now online available.
Abstract:
In this paper we have performed a content analysis of Ed-Media conferences publications from 2003 to 2008 using our internally built visualization tool to realize various research patterns in the field of e-learning. We identified 3668 different research terms from 4607 articles’ titles. The visualization tool revealed the trends of contributions in the field over the years, evolution or decline of research terms, hot research terms, key researchers, leading institutions and nations across the world, evolution of countries, continents and institutions in comparison to each other. The results in this study will allow novice and experienced educators, researchers in the field of e- learning to understand what kind of different research terms exist and to identify different research patterns over the last six years in this field.

[publication] Social networking in scientific conferences – Twitter as tool for strengthen a scientific
Our publication about „Social networking in scientific conferences – Twitter as tool for strengthen a scientific“ for this Science 2.0 for TEL Workshop at ECTEL conference is now online available.
Abstract:
Twitter is the fastest growing member community of the last year. With a rate of 1382% it grows 6 times faster than for example the world biggest social networking application Facebook. In this paper we ask how Twitter can serve as resource at scientific conferences and support the scientific community. Furthermore we ask if Twitter ads any scientific value to conferences. We chose this year ED-MEDIA conference as example for the use of Twitter at a scientific conference and show how the micro-blogging tool got seamlessly integrated in the well-known communication infrastructure of conferences.

Online Round Table on „Personal Learning Environment“
I am happy that we can invite to the second Online Round Table on „Personalization and Learning“ which will lead to the upcoming EduCamp Event in Graz, Austria (November, 6-7):
The first online event is on Thursday October 8. Erik Duval and Ralf Klamma will be our guest speakers. They will guide us through an informal discussion around ‘Personal Learning Environments and how we learn in future’, a topic that will certainly generate a lively debate. Make sure to contribute to it too. 😉 We look forward to ‘seeing’ you there.
The details about the speakers, their talks as well as how you will be able to contribute you will find here.
