The final program of this year’s Usability Symposium at Graz University of Technology is now available.
Here you will find all sessions, workshops and presentations given by a broad range of international researchers.
Again the topic for this conference is „Human Computer Interaction for Education“ and adresses to special needs of software for educational purposes. Hopefully you enjoy the programm and we will meet each other on 20th and 21st of November in
Normalerweise bin ich ja nicht politisch aktiv, aber dieser Spot hat mir dermaßen gut gefallen, dass ich in bloggen musste:
Also wählen und „I have seven friends“ :-).(via Spreeblick).
Without any comments 🙂 – enjoy:
Also nach einer Woche in Schottland, muss ich natürlich das Wichtigste für mich zusammenfassen. Vorweg gleich es hat richtig Spaß gemacht und ich werde Glasgow als eine sehr schöne und gemütliche Stadt in Erinnerung behalten.
Neben meiner eigenen Aktivitäten (darüber habe ich ja schon eifrig gebloggt) hatte ich auch die Möglichkeit mit vielen Personen hier zu reden und mich auszutauschen. Die wichtigsten Passagen wollte ich nochmals festhalten:
Alexei Kapterev hat eine Präsentation erstellt, zu der mir nur zwei Dinge einfallen:

Ich möchte auf die Parallel Special Thematic Session „FUITEL09: Future Interfaces in Technology Enhanced Learning and Training“ hinweisen, welche im Rahmen der HCI International 2009 vom 19. – 24.7 2009 in San Diego stattfinden wird.
Hier die Webpage der Session.
Als Programm Komitee Mitglied freue ich mich auf zahlreiche interessante Einreichungen.
Ich bin auf ein sehr nettes Lernobjekt gestoßen, welches erklärt was ein Radius ist – vorallem ist auch der Zusammenhang mit dem Umfang sehr nett beschrieben. Hoffe es vergisst ab sofort nie jemand mehr U=2rPI :-).

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.
