  17. Presentation of the project eJump 2.0 on the FLUID visit September 16th 2009 Action Research Project 14 AR-reports submitted. Examples: “New Methods of Assessment for Universities in Azerbaijan” “A personal learning environment for teaching statistics.” (Vigo) “ACTION RESEARCH AND WEB 2.0 TOOLS TO SUPPORT THE EVALUATION PROCESS OF AN HOME MADE ELEARNING PLATFORM AT UNIVERSITÀ DEGLI STUDI DI MILANO” “Lesson Studies In a Postgraduate Course : Rethinking Our Practice” (Málaga)

  18. Presentation of the project eJump 2.0 on the FLUID visit September 16th 2009 Use of a social networking environment • Reasons for using a social networking environment in general • Focus of the project on developing the use of Web 2.0 • Wish to provide participants with own Web 2.0 Personalised Learning Environment/Digital Portfolio • Wish for a technical infrastructure that supported our aims for developing social infrastructure and promoting social presence

  19. Presentation of the project eJump 2.0 on the FLUID visit September 16th 2009 Use of the ELGG social networking environment • Reasons for using the ELGG social networking environment in particular • We evaluated several possible applications including ELGG & including community@Brighton • We judged that it could work well as a Web 2.0 Personalised Learning Environment/Digital Portfolio • We judged that it could provide the technical infrastructure to complement the aims we had for developing our social infrastructure

  21. Presentation of the project eJump 2.0 on the FLUID visit September 16th 2009 Success factors and obstacles of the courses and e-Learning 2.0 •  PROPOSED ENVIRONMENTS (MOODLE, ELGG, others) • Possibilities • Individual and group communication and collaboration is supported through social networking and group forums • Social infrastructure provides opportunities for developing social presence • Technical infrastructure provides opportunities for participants to present learning outcomes through a range of personalised ICT tools and media • Problems • Moodle + ELGG = orientation challenges • Moodle versus ELGG functionality = major differences • Managing summative assessment is difficult in ELGG e.g. Grade book functionality of Moodle not available (so far) in ELGG • Differing understandings of teaching and learning in virtual environments (teacher centredness, openness, control) and the subsequent affordances of the proposed tools. • Dissorientation due to scattered environments

  22. Presentation of the project eJump 2.0 on the FLUID visit September 16th 2009 Success factors and obstacles of the courses and e-Learning 2.0 Specific observations within the DIE-course • Previous knowledge of Web 2.0 tools • Sufficient. In addition to the given list, more tools were proposed and described • 2. Use of Web 2.0 tools for assignments • Insignificant; preference for already given MOODLE spaces and tools • Expressed lack of comfort using several different spaces • 3. Proposal of Web 2.0 tools for course design • - Significant valid proposals BUT constant allusion on convenience to avoid scattered spaces and lack of control using a central base

  23. Presentation of the project eJump 2.0 on the FLUID visit September 16th 2009 Success factors and obstacles of the courses and e-Learning 2.0 Specific observations within the DIE-course - reflections • DIE-course as an attempt of confronting Web 2.0 affordances with a context of comprehensive e-course design • Identification of several drawbacks when analysing tools in combination with the need of overall course planning and design • * How to assure effective communication and collaboration in several different Web-spaces? • * How to avoid disorientation in scattered environments? • * How to justify the replication of functions that are already given in a “closed” and controllable LMS? • * How to justify the increased technological variety and the subsequent need of technology-learning? • * How to justify the supposed need for openness in a determined pedagogical context?

  25. Presentation of the project eJump 2.0 on the FLUID visit September 16th 2009 FORMATIVE EVALUATION OF THE 3 eJUMP COURSES Conclusions • Strengths: – first‐hand experience on eLearning 2.0 (incl. chaos) – useful learning resources – innova&ve pedagogical design • Weaknesses: – environment was confusing: easy to get lost, overlaps (Moodle & Elgg), scaffolding is needed – insufficient social presence, social infrastructure – integra&on between courses
