How Much Does A Birthday Cake Cost

Social Software @ Work

An event in an extremely relaxed and inspiring atmosphere (yes, the cows amTagungsort Castle Mickeln were also topic of conversation in between). The team from Düsseldorf Anglistik information science and has taken well to time, breaks, structured queries. So be it.

Here are my notes from the presentations at major Social Software @ Work :

• Einsaz of blogs is also in some large companies still have a thing for early adopters.
• to establish corporate blogs to be the "credibility" only be developed in the blogosphere; dt bloggers are particularly critical.
• social software is used by companies often used to identify new trends or develop themes.
• employees blogging twitter, often external, use these media internally but barely. ME is also a problem at the university.
  
• introduction of new media should contribute to the discussion lead with several cultures: market culture, hierarchy culture, Internet culture. Perhaps it is still at the University added the scientific culture.
  
• Qitera the hamster behavior of the users use in finding information (save everything). The data is then divided as follows: I search the contents of which my colleagues have searched and saved first by integration into the Google search screen.
• own profiles / content should be taken to other platforms, for example, also important in higher education platforms.
• social media services as a river, in the purely one keeps the foot in order to collect information if it has time.
• exciting regard to Mark Lombardi, who has shown after Watergate power structures in sociograms.
  
• lot of exciting papers, ideas, projects about Twitter and in the breaks. Do I still rework.

day of media-aided teaching FH Dortmund

stank After the first break there last Friday at the pretty day of media-aided teaching at Dortmund. Of petrol. The reason: A coordinated business management management project in the eLearning based on the ILIAS team work of over 150 students will soon. This had several Departments joined forces and together developed a racing car, including financing plan, etc.. Impressive.

motivating as the greetings from the Dean for Academic Studies and International Affairs, Prof. Ralf Beck. He was visibly excited by the e-learning, also support from the Dortmund team of e-tutors, teachers at the e-learning implementation. Who reports as he of the simple ways of managing groups and apparently has tried out what he says, is simply an ideal eLearning promoter.

exciting anyway: to align the faces in the ILIAS networks with names you know via forums, email, testing the new ILIAS version. Looking forward way on extremely ILIAS 4 that is already used even in Dortmund. And of course it was important to once again meet at least part of the network and exchange ideas. On Monday, I can unfortunately not be with ILIAS-NRW in Münster here. Other conference here: Social Software @ Work

The most important in my view at the workshop in which I presented then the e-Learning Integration at the University of Dusseldorf and Prof. Goldberg the activities of the Protestant University of Applied Sciences:

• e-learning must be part of university teaching or be aimed at least in high school taught
• committed people can often with very few human resources same reach (eg, Bochum and Dortmund)
• problems, solutions and offerings to (teaching load, desire for exchange of solutions)
  
• students as a supporter / advisor and enabler of e-learning is a very promising approach

are to the latter showed Holger Hansen (Ruhr University Bochum) and Prof. Goldberg, as well, such offers are accepted.

was confirmed also by the well-organized meeting in Dortmund, where the recognizable with black T-shirts and "e-tutoring" inscription students were very active. Can benefit the students here on several levels: recognition of credit points, (some subsequent) payment in supporting work, preparation for professional life. A concept that I know is similar in Frankfurt as " Student Consultants " successful.
