eLearning – Concept for a Seminar

I am giving my first Seminar at the University of Hamburg this Semester. It is a lot of fun working with interested and motivated students and it is a lot of work to arrange a seminar for those students.
I decided not to use one of the established plattform which are supposed to support seminars here in Hamburg.

ePedagogy, learning and Second Life : a course

Thats the Title of Owen Kellys next Course for the ePedagogy MA Program.

The course will be entirely online, and will involve chats in Skype; inworld explorations in Second Life (and hopefully Active Worlds by way of comparison); and course timetables, project plans, documentation and discussion on Airset.

The course will start on Feb. 5th and even thoug I am not that great Fan of Second Life I have to recommend this course to you, because Owen always offers interesting and relevant content.

Working with eLearning Tools

The eLearning Guild asked members for their favorite tips for using software for the creation of e-Learning. Members could submit tips in any or all of the following five categories:

  • Courseware authoring and e-Learning development tools
  • Rapid e-Learning tools
  • Simulation tools
  • Media tools
  • Combining and deploying authoring tools

162 Tips and Tricks for Working with e-Learning Tools is a free PDF-Book. Go download it and discover a lot of nice ideas. In my opinion we need also a Tips for eLearning with social software Resource.

Students 2.0

For decades, students have been stuck in classrooms, behind desks, being told how and what to learn. For a time, when students were expected to become widgets for the vast machine of industry, this model of education was highly effective. However, we have now entered a new age: an age where thinking is more important than knowing, where thoughts out-do the facts. Borders are melting away; project teams collaborate across the globe and intelligence is being continually redefined. The world’s information is at our fingertips and anybody can publish their thoughts for virtually no cost.

This sounds familar to me. The Text is taken from the About Page of the Students 2.0 Project. Made by Students who may be will make History…
