WE/ME in epedagogy design

Last Wednesday the VLE discussion on Skype circled around the idea of microlearning and its possible applications to our work.

I have now drawn together some links to related papers that I have found on the web, including the ones that Ralf originally pointed Christina and I towards. The post also includes links to Marc Prensky’s papers outlining the concept of digital natives.

This is all by way of trying to drum up some readers for my site, of course.

This is mainly intended for those doing the Virtual Learning Environments course, but it may well be of use to everyone else as well

I have been reading an ebook called Learning Spaces, published by Educause, and I have posted a piece about it on my site. If you go there you will find a short description, a link to a page where you can download individual chapters, and a link from which you can download the entire book.

I have just been into Mimerdesk and I have started 2 topics in a forum. I am not convinced I have started them in the right place, but I could not find any other place (or any other way) to start them.

There are two topics:

* A VLE Course Cafe, for the personal announcements; and
* Where are our blogs and web sites? for our personal urls so we can find each other’s stuff.

This is how you find them:

1. Log into Mimerdesk
2. Navigate to the Virtual Learning Environments group
3. Click on “Latest Posts To The Forums”
4. Click on “Improving elearning communities”
5. Click on one of the topic names.

Warning: to write a new entry click on reply on the FIRST entry (the one explaining what the topic is about). If you read another entry and reply to that then your message will become a sub thread…

If I have put these in the wrong place then it is because Jaap needs to create the discussions at the top level, because he is the administrator. All we can do (I think) is create topics in existing discussions…
