Attending the Learning Design Grid Investigative Workshop at London Knowledge Lab.
An innovative, exploratory workshop, intended to cover not only empirical and theoretical issues but also software and tools. There are three thematic strands into which short papers have been submitted :
The short paper we are presenting is based on an introduction to CoED - the Collaborative E-Learning method developed at e-Learning Lab (eLL).

7 months agoEn spændende tanke der etableres her i form af samarbejder omkring speciale skrivning på tværs af studier internt på universitetet.
Det er en interessant tilgang, som jeg sagtens kan se de væsentlige argumenter i. Jeg glæder mig til at følge processerne omkring dette.
Men det er ikke gruppeeksamen som vi (nogle af os) kender den på AAU, men en ny og noget anderledes form for gruppeeksamen, som jeg lige læser det. Men en spændende tanke…
The first few weeks of an open online course are the most disorienting. As a learner, you approach the course with expectations that have been defined by previous learning experiences. You look for readings, you look for the discussion space, and you look to the instructor to detail the content…
Participating in the 6th International Conference on E-Learning 2011 (ICEL) taking place at the campus of the University of British Columbia, Canada
The conference brings together many different nations to present and have interesting dialogs around e-learning and the approach and usage of pedagogy, activities and tool within the area of e-learning.
Until now I have heard many interesting presentations - both had Moodle presented as “A wiki”, how Facebook is used to disrupt and question teaching, and the use of blogs in distance learning courses with high number of students…. really interesting dialogs came from this…
- a challenge will be my own presentation - not as to presenting but I have (only) 10 minuts to present ‘my ph.d. work’ so far… - and what to focus on????
I have presented many interesting things in the paper as I have tried to present research from the work done on my ph.d. and related projects contributing to my ph.d. - Web 2.0 in relation to PBL, The AAU PBL model, CoED as a design method - all of this as representing my approach to do a design workshop… - so many interesting aspects and processes to focus on for 10 minuts… really a challenge…
Friday 20th May 2011 Centre for Research in Education and Education Technology (CREET) held an interesting Conference on Digital Literacy. There were many different approaches to the term literacy, which was leading to an interesting dialog about the use of the term “Literacy” and “Digital literacy”.
The projects presented during the conference had interesting research results and methods illustrated in their presentations. The conference gave me an introduction to the kind of research going on in UK on Digital Literacy.

Participated in a seminar at OU about: Integrating sustainable design in new product development - the development of the Cambridge sustainable design tool kit
Bernhard Dusch from Cambridge University gave a presentation about their development of a design tool kit trying to challange product developers in their brainstoming about new product and to make them think about sustainablility. The tool kit they developed is illustrated on the powerpoint (in the picture), but there are a hole process of reflection build into the workshop. Very interesting… - and it gave me some ideas about elaborating the CoED or maybe come up with a supplement to CoED due to my PhD. One thing though - they were facing some of the same challenges as with CoED - not knowing if the thinking and ideas started at the workshop actually are used and further developed after the workshop…
