I found an interesting article about which includes the top ten tips for extending education conferences. The Keywords are “Communication“, “Tagging“, “Conference blog“, “Photos“, “Wiki Notes“, “Session blogs“, “Infrastructure“, “Blog Reporters“, “Podcasts & Webcasts” and “Training“.
I think these ten tips are also useful for our international meetings. What do you think?
As planned by our group I will share my ideas of a Bliki and would like to receive your comments on that. I am also very interested in waht the other groups are working on. Could you please put it to the Blog or Wiki?
In my opinion it is necessary to describe the situation where to use the bliki first.
I assume that our Bliki will be used in any kind of educational context e.g. school, university, corporate education, lond distance learning or something like that where people are to learn something in more than one step. It does’nt matter if it is used for pure e-learning or blended-learning arrangements.

It seems that combining blog- and wiki-features as a Bliki are already something that people have been researching and trying out for some time now. For example in Wikipedia there is already a Bliki definition and examples.
Owen skyped me some links that are a good starting point when we defining Bliki in our research.
Here is a good article about weblogs and wikis:
http://blog.kowalczyk.info/archives/2004/06/09/of-weblogs-and-wikis
This article defines bliki as a weblog with wiki support, which is simple enough:

In this site there are some definitions for Wiki, Weblog and PIM (Personal Information Manager) which might be interesting for us too:

Eeva, Leslo, Owen and Ralf have agreed that our project will officially start on Monday March 13. Until then we will do individual preliminary research. We are each going to work out for ourselves what we need to know before the project begins - and find it out.
On March 13th, as though by magic, we will know enough to begin the project 
On day three of our international Seminar we had the presentations about our projects during the morning. All three groups have a different approach to the blogosphere. To work on these projects the blog may be used to create a kind of documentation of your group progress, inform others about milestones, problems, and whatever you want and already did.
There is also a wiki available now and Owen will try to organise that one login is working for the blog and the wiki.
I just want to thank you for some very nice days with a lot of intersting people and great talks.
The pictures I have taken are all online now and I hope you will put yours to flickr as well and tag them with epedagogy.
The project Amagezzi can be followed at the Wiki or should I say bliki (?), under the category “CategoryAmagezzi“. The idea about the students project using eachothers project (like us and the 3M with their bliki idea) is in my opinnion an example of good team spirit!
On the second day of our international seminar we were sorted into three groups.
It was intended that these groups are as multinational as possible. The three grpups are:
Willy, Lincoln, Camilla
Raimo, Jaap, Jani, Bregje
Leslo, Owen, Eeva, Ralf
After seperating us into these groups we started with two workshops.
One was about study.log which was held by Torsten of course. The other workshop which was held by Stefan introduced the project which should the groups work on during the coming up semester. The topic is “The Blogosphere”.
Tomorrow morning will be short presentations of the studentgroups which focus they will use to “examine” the blogosphere.
Update: In the past (at least) three hours we worked on our group topic for tomorrow morning and visited some websites which should be named here: http://del.icio.us/, http://www.itsawonderfulinternet.com/ and the famous french maid tv how to podcast tutorial.
