This is your last Task for our Seminar ;-( .This task is voluntary! You don’t have to do this during the semester! It is just an idea what you can write about!
OK, Task #8 is going to be a kind of Experiment. This Task should be solved collaborative.You are free to chose which Theory/Headline you want to work on until no one else started work on this one. You should finde “your own” headline where you contribute the basic information. Of course you are allowed to add additional Information to all Theories and Headlines.
In the end all Theories should be complete, so you can use it in your final Exams or in other Seminars.
Here you will find our scribbles we made on the interactive Whiteboard during the last session.
Part One: If not done yet please add a Link to your Blogpost with your Learning Environment to the Wiki. Part Two: Have a look at the Blogposts of the others and get an Impression about their (e-)Learning Environments.Today we had a kind of Online Session within our seminar. We started with a Skype Conference and I think that worked pretty well.
My usual plan was to have the Online Session in Adobe Connect / Breeze. In Adobe Connect one have the possibility to use Textchat, Videoconferencing, Screensharing and a lot of other features. I expected Problems alreade before the Session and thats why we based our online Meeting on Skype. I hope it was an interesting experience for all of you!?
During the Online Session you were asked to watch this Video from Jay Cross about informal Learning. If you liked the video you might be interested in this one too.
Special Thank to Jonas who prepared the small zotero Workshop which didn’t work that good because of technical reasons. Jonas was so nice to put his Information into a Presentation which will be embedded below.
Please take a Photo of your preferred learning environment. Please take two Photos. One where you usually do your non-eLearning and one where you do your eLearning. Post these two images on your blog. Let us know why you usually choose these places and what you like/dislike about these locations.

We agreed about having at least one Seminar Session only virtually. In order to organize this virtual meeting I ask you to send me your skype names Sorry, there had been some issues with the form. Please send me your skypename via email or just contact me on skype.
People who already provided their Skypename:
During the last week you collected Definitions for eLearning and rated them. Please put your Definition and the Sourceinformation to the Wiki. This should be done during our Seminar Session! (You need a account for the wiki, please create one!)
Split up into Groups
Group 1: Harbour (Picture 4,5, 13, 14)



Group 2: Sports (Picture 3, 6, 15, 16)



Group 3: Nature (Picture 1, 8, 9, 11)



Group 4: Computer (Picture 2, 7, 10, 12)



The next two Seminar Sessions will be only Project Work within your Groups. Write weekly Reports about your Groupwork from your personal perspective. Each Group gets a different Task.
All groups are asked to produce a learning unit suiteable for eLearning on the goups topic.
Each learning unit should explain the terms assigned to the Group and explain which form of Learning fits to that kind of learning.
The third week 06.05.2008 we will meet in the seminar room again and talk about your experiences, problems and the progress of your projectwork.
After the Whitsuntide-Holidays (is that the Word for Pfingstferien?) we will meet again to have about 15-20 min. presentations of the Groupwork. Group 1 & 2 on 20th of May and Group 3 & 4 on the 27th of May as you can see in the Schedule.
Our Seminar Room will be open for your Projectwork if needed. Please let me know if you’d like to use it. You will find me somewhere on the fifth floor e.g. in my Office during seminar time.

This Task consist of four parts.Part 1: Please check the Web or Library for more definitions and find one which fits for your needs or is close to what you think eLearning is or should be.

Part 2: What are your expectations from eLearning, when is it useful, what are advantages and what is missing in eLearning compared to presence learning.
Part 3: Please name 2 Settings, Situations or Contents where eLearning is a good solution, in your opinion and why.
Include a link in your Blogpost to this article (http://loveitorchangeit.com/seminars/summer2008/2008/04/08/task-2-what-is-elearning/). By doing that a Trackback from this Entry to your Entry is going to be created, so you don’t have to write a comment
. In this Example I linked to an Article from one Entry on this Page to a Post in Hakes and Simons Blog.
