WE/ME in epedagogy design

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

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

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

Hi everyone and especially Jaap,

I just read in a comment (on VKB’s group-entry) that there was a Skype-meeting between Jaap and ‘i-don’t-know-who’ because i wasn’t in… Maybe it’s my fault and we had a clear appointment, but i don’t remember (and didn’t write down) anything like that. The only information that i saved so far (concerning Jaaps seminar) was that we will start the 15th of November. For you, Jaap, i would very much recommend to send a note via email and remind us (students) to have a meeting. Or post a message in the blog…

hope to hear you next time - Antje*

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.

Today started our seminar with the head of e-learning at the INHOLLAND University which I missed cause we (the germans) came too late.
After that, Jaap Jansen introduced the structure of the seminar before he had his presentation about the ePortfolios. We had a lot of diskussion about that because it was not that clear how all this fits into the total concept of ePedagogy but the idea of ePortfolios and what it is and might offer is a little bit clearer.

This seminar should be filled with workshops in two groups which are to work on a specific topic during the whole coming up semester. I will tell you more about that tomorrow.

In the Evening introduced Raimo to us that he is a “General Motors” car and that all people love products more than people. He for example loves his iPod an Ketchup
