Change of media - change of educational settings

Christina — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 11:02:54 +0000

I am also giving a seminar, starting in the first week in April. It belongs to the seminar series “KnowledgeFormation” - with the focus on “Change of media - change of educational settings”. At wiki.christinaferner.de you find a description of the seminar.
There will be synchronous events on Tuesday, 14-16 p.m. (German time). The seminar will be mainly based on project work and discussions via Skype or Adobe Breeze. The project work will be based on building up a media-rich knowledge base in a wiki.

If you want to enroll, or if you have any questions, please leave a comment or write a mail to christina.ferner@uni-hamburg.de

VLE - List of criteria for the analysis

Christina — Mon, 12 Mar 2007 23:17:52 +0000

Dear VLE-group,

I finally managed to develop my list of criteria for the analysis of a Virtual Learning Environment. You can have a look on it here. Please feel free to comment on it.

Jaap, is it right that we now should fulfill the analysis until end of March? Because there seems to be some uncertainty amongst the students…

Cheers,

Christina

ePortfolio and Transparency

Christina — Thu, 07 Dec 2006 23:44:10 +0000

As in the VLE course a discussion on ePortfolio and transparency arose - which is pretty much related to our panopticon-groupwork - I wrote something about this problem on the panopticon blog. Just my first thoughts on it. Perhaps the VLE-participants would like to contribute and comment on it, as it is a central point in our course? I could have done this in our forum to make in more internally, but I have put it in our blog because this is a topic I would like to do more research in the other project…

VLE - Skype time?

Christina — Wed, 06 Dec 2006 20:16:19 +0000

Dear Jaap and the other course participants,

Something in our communication seems to go wrong… Chris(tine), Chris(toph) and Chris(tina) were online this evening, wednesday 06/12, 8pm cet - but we were missing the rest. We used the time for talking about problems in orienting in our study program. This was interesting, Christine wanted to start a discussion topic on this in this blog because this seemed to be an interesting topic for all students.

We now agreed on meeting again next Wednesday, 13/12/06, 8pm cet. We hope to see you all?!

Cheers,

Christina

Skype-Meetings for Didactal Analysis of VLE - Change of time

Christina — Mon, 27 Nov 2006 10:23:36 +0000

Dear participants of Jaap’s course, and dear Jaap of course…

I have just spoken with Jaap about the times for the Skype-meetings because for me and Christoph Friday does not work and for Christine it is night… So we thought of changing the time to another day.

Our proposal now is to meet Wednesday, 5 p.m. CET, that is 6 p.m. in Helsinki and I think 11 a.m. in Ecuador (is that right?) Could everybody who wants to take part in the course please put a comment on the blog, if this works or not? Or make other proposals. For me I could arrange it Monday to Wednesday, Thursday and Friday I have to teach…

Cheers,

Christina

Didactical Analysis of VLEs

Christina — Tue, 21 Nov 2006 11:59:14 +0000

Dear Jaap,

I have one question concerning your course “Didactical Analysis of VLEs”. I would like to participate and have now heard that you have started the course yet in the Skype meeting of the project group “Visual Knowledge Building”. I have read the comment that you would join the meeting on 15th November one day late. But I did not know about a Skype meeting anyway.

Are you going to provide regular Skype meetings for your course? Is there a timetable?

I have downloaded the one document in MimerDesk - are there more documents needed?

Perhaps you could post an entry into this blog with all the information needed to participate in your course - as I probably will not be the only one interested…

Thank you!

Christina

Transparency (and surveillance) is getting started

Christina — Tue, 24 Oct 2006 15:18:02 +0000

It is not Big Brother who is watching you, it is Every Brother… In this note we start our research in “Transparency and Surveillance in ePedagogy and education.” As we had communicated at the seminar here in Hamburg we are going to make our process transparent to everybody - and therefore I have now set up a blog (panopticon.ferngespraech.net) and a wiki ~~(due to some problems with my Server only having PHP 4 my provider has to move my data to another Server, so the Wiki will be online tomorrow…)~~ so that everybody can follow our thoughts and the work in progress.

Please have a look at our work - ideas, questions, recommondations etc. are higly welcome.

Cheers,

Christina

DAY 1: Lectures, project presentations and discussions

Christina — Thu, 12 Oct 2006 16:23:43 +0000

The first day of the seminar is nearly over - still having the welcome party before us. We started listening to lectures by Torsten Meyer (What could Visual Knowledge Building mean?), Stefan Sonvilla-Weiss (Visual Knowledge Building and surveillance culture) and Julia Schawe (Fake in web2.0 as a form of digital resistance).

After lunch the students active part of the seminar began - with presentations of the group-projects. First was Raimo talking about “Ubiquitous education”. Or speaking in his words: ubication and ubigogy. This presentation was followed by a lively discussion about the digital divide, cultural differences and how these questions are connected to the topic of ubiquitous education speaking in terms of ePedagogy Design.

The next presentation was held by Owen about Blogs, Wikis and Blikis (a word Owen tried to avoid ). It was mainly focused on the differences in use and the advantages and disadvantages of each in pedagogical processes.

Lincoln closed the day giving a short introduction to the topics of the Amagezzi-group. Camilla will give a longer presentation via Skype from Honolulu. To be prepared everybody should read the text she provides at her website due to Saturday.
