Thank you very much for a nice seminar and a lot of collaboration, information exchange and learning!
I bookmarked a lot of resources at del.icio.us which I supposed to use during the seminar. Some of them where used, some don’t. If you need further information you might find interesting bits in this bunch of links.

If you are interested in how I get along with further seminars and what else I have to say about eLearning and othe educational stuff you might add my personal weblog “teaching - learning - media” to you favourites or feedreader. Don’t hesitate to write comments there ;-)

In the end I wish you happy holidays and a great summer!

Imagine you would spend a day with the Learningtheories. Use your Blog to describe a day in your Life with the Learningtheories. How do they effect your life? When do you learn what and how?
Think about your Learning in different Seminars, your Sportsclub, while going by Train or Bus, watching Television and other activities.
Let us know which learning theory accompanys your daily life.

This task is voluntary! You don’t have to do this during the semester! It is just an idea what you can write about!

Some of you were ill and could’nt join us but thankfully Juliane took some a lot of notes about How to use a Beamer and put them to her Blog. She also added some Presentations to slideshare and embedded them into her Blog like her own Presentation about LMS and LCMS and a presentation entitled “Death by Powerpoint and how to fight it”. I’d like to thank you, especially for sharing your valuable notes.
I’d like to add a Link to a “Webinar” about creating powerful Presentations.

This Task should be solved collaborative.
I rreated a Section for Learning Theories in our Wiki. It includes Behaviourism, Cognitivism, Constructivism and Connectivism. Even thoug I am not that sure if Connectivism is/will be a Learning Theorie we should have a look on it.

All four Theories are seperated into four Parts:

  1. What is …?
  2. What is the special meaning for eLearning?
  3. Which eLearning Tools make use of … and in what point exactly?
  4. References

What should be added to these Titles?

  1. Explanaitions, Definitions, …
  2. Is there a special relationship for eLearning? Which one could it be?
  3. Describe parts of Learningsystems and/or Tools and where they make use of this learning theorie, does’nt matter if intendet or not.
  4. Please List your sources for the above Information and make sure there is easy to connect them to the right point of the above Information.

You are free to chose which Theory/Headline you want to work on until no one else started work on this one. You should finde “your own” headline where you contribute the basic information. Of course you are allowed to add additional Information to all Theories and Headlines.

Aim

In the end all Theories should be complete, so you can use it in your final Exams or in other Seminars.

Here you will find our scribbles we made on the interactive Whiteboard during the last session.

Part Two: Have a look at the Blogposts of the others and get an Impression about their (e-)Learning Environments.
Part Three: Write an own Article about the Blogposts you’ve just read concerning the Learning Environments and/or about our Online Session.

Online Session

Today we had a kind of Online Session within our seminar. We started with a Skype Conference and I think that worked pretty well.
My usual plan was to have the Online Session in Adobe Connect / Breeze. In Adobe Connect one have the possibility to use Textchat, Videoconferencing, Screensharing and a lot of other features. I expected Problems alreade before the Session and thats why we based our online Meeting on Skype. I hope it was an interesting experience for all of you!?
During the Online Session you were asked to watch this Video from Jay Cross about informal Learning. If you liked the video you might be interested in this one too.

Special Thank to Jonas who prepared the small zotero Workshop which didn’t work that good because of technical reasons. Jonas was so nice to put his Information into a Presentation which will be embedded below.

The list is compiled from the contributions of 155 learning professionals (from both education and workplace learning) who shared their Top 10 Tools for Learning both for their own personal learning/ productivity and for creating learning solutions for others.

The Top three Tools are

  1. a social bookmarking site on Position #1 del.icio.us
  2. a Web browser on Position #2 Firefox
  3. and on Positon #3 a RSS/Feed-Reader Google Reader.

del.icio.usFirefoxGoogle Reader

You can see the whole List here.

Stephen Downes opened another List with the Ten Web 2.0 Things You Can Do in Ten Minutes to Be a More Successful E-learning Professional. Two points I really like in that list are:

  • Write a blog post or article describing something you’ve learned recently. It can be something you’ve read or culled from a meeting, conference notes (which you just capture on the fly using a text editor), or a link you’ve posted to del.icio.us. The trick here is to keep your writing activity to less than 10 minutes—make a point quickly and then click “submit.”

    • and

  • Record a 10-minute presentation about something you are working on or learning about, either as audio (use Odeo) or video (use Ustream), and post it on your blog.

If you have some spare time these two Lists will be an interesting guideline to improve your learning skills.

During the last week you collected Definitions for eLearning and rated them. Please put your Definition and the Sourceinformation to the Wiki. This should be done during our Seminar Session! (You need a account for the wiki, please create one!)

Part 2

Part 3

The next two Seminar Sessions will be only Project Work within your Groups. Write weekly Reports about your Groupwork from your personal perspective. Each Group gets a different Task.
All groups are asked to produce a learning unit suiteable for eLearning on the goups topic.
Each learning unit should explain the terms assigned to the Group and explain which form of Learning fits to that kind of learning.

Groups & Topics

  1. Harbour
    Microlearning
    Mobile eLearning
  2. Sports
    CBT (Computerbased Training)
    WBT (Webbased Training)
  3. Nature
    LMS (Learning Management System)
    LCMS (Learning Content Management System)
  4. Computer
    VLE (Virtual Learning Environment)
    PLE (Personal Learning Envirenment)

Further approach

The third week 06.05.2008 we will meet in the seminar room again and talk about your experiences, problems and the progress of your projectwork.
After the Whitsuntide-Holidays (is that the Word for Pfingstferien?) we will meet again to have about 15-20 min. presentations of the Groupwork. Group 1 & 2 on 20th of May and Group 3 & 4 on the 27th of May as you can see in the Schedule.
Our Seminar Room will be open for your Projectwork if needed. Please let me know if you’d like to use it. You will find me somewhere on the fifth floor e.g. in my Office during seminar time.
