The next international Seminar is said to be in the begin of October and should be held in Barcelona (great!).
I thougt about if a BarCamp as a open Structure for this Seminar might be right decision. For those of you who don’t know yet what a BarCamp is:
BarCamp is an ad-hoc unconference born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from attendees.
Anyone with something to contribute or with the desire to learn is welcome and invited to join.
When you come, be prepared to share with barcampers.
When you leave, be prepared to share it with the world.
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
Hello ePedagogy Fellows!
Within the first week of April my first Seminar for the ePedagogy Program will start. The Title will be “Premesis of eLearning” and it deals with… yes, eLearning.
You will find the description of the Seminar here.
22 Participants from Hamburg already signed up, but the concept of the seminar takes into account that there might be participants from anywhere else where you will find a Internet connection.
We will have some synchronous Sessions on Tuesday 10.00-12.00 (UTC/GMT +1 hour) and a lot of work in groups, more or less asynchronous, but you should be available (online) during this time.
There will be Tasks every week, and if you like you can already start with the first one…
If you don’t have time to join us regularly think of participate via the blog even sometimes, would be nice.
This is the file we promised during our presentation in Helsinki during our last Seminar.
In case Alex and me are not surprised by unexpexted circumstances we will soon start our little tour through the web 2.0 with all of you inside this blog.
The seminar ‘Knowledge Formation I + II’ will start on Thursday, April 5th, 4-6 pm. The last synchronous session will be on Thursday, July 12th, 4-6 pm. Please let me know in advance if you want to participate in the seminar this summer semester. Thanks.
Seminar description: The seminar deals with the history and development of means and ways of representation in art, science and religion. The consequences on the respective systems of thought, perception and action will be viewed, ranging in time from the Renaissance invention of central perspective to the application of contemporary media technologies. Cultural-sociological and formation-theoretical implications of the “historic Apriori” in the specific epochs (M. Foucault) are of special interest. The main focus of discussion will concentrate on the abolishment of the boundaries of central perspective and its impact on further developments particularly in art history.
The seminar addresses both students who have already participated in other seminars concerning KnowledgeFormation as well as ‘new’ students. The seminar will be organized mainly as blended learning concept with cooperating groups of students from Hamburg, Helsinki and Rotterdam. Inter-group-communication will be accomplished via webbased community system (Commsy), eMail, chat and video conferencing.

The seminar ‘Pedagogical Media Theory’ will start on Thursday, April 5th, 2-4 pm. The last synchronous session will be on Thursday, July 12th, 2-4 pm. Please let me know in advance if you want to participate in the seminar this summer semester. Thanks.
Seminar description: Pedagogical processes are unthinkable without media, this includes the (still) so called “new media”. The seminar will approach the problem, whether and how the modern understanding of subject, society, and formation (Bildung) changes or even has to be newly defined, caused by the development of new media technology and its effects on the meaning of ‘media’ and ‘mediality’. Encompassing a wide range of mediatheoretical reflectable subjects, a pedagogical mediatheory will have to be developed, which has far reaching consequences for pedagogy (and this is not restricted to media-pedagogy).
The seminar will be a tutored reading course organized mainly as tutor-supported open distance learning with synchronous events and in cooperation with groups of students from Hamburg, Helsinki, and Rotterdam. We will communicate via CommSy, use the reading and writing tool eMargo, e-mail and video conferences or chat. This seminar is mainly based on Torsten Meyer’s book: Interfaces, Medien, Bildung. Paradigmen einer pädagogischen Medientheorie, Bielefeld: Transcript 2002 (http://www.transcript-verlag.de/ts110/ts110.htm)

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…
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…
