Current book project a2k4oi The Chair of Information at Konstanz University was established in 1980. After being affiliated with different departments, the Chair became part of the Department of Computer and Information Science in the year 2000. Information Science courses are curricular part of Information Engineering Bachelor and Master Studies. Information Science in Konstanz is known for having coined the concept of the „pragmatic primacy“ of information: information is knowledge relevant for action, or to put it in a formula – information is knowledge in action. The consideration of social, cognitive, political, economic, ethical, and cultural implications of information complements the often predominating technical approach to information. access to knowledge for open innovation Information Engineering - Department of Computer and Information Science University of Constance E-Learning and Gender – UCLA – GSE&IS March 08 2007

K3 collaborative e-learning paradigm • K3 (German acronym for communication, collaboration, competence) is a knowledge management system in learning environments for higher level academic teaching. Information Engineering - Department of Computer and Information Science University of Constance E-Learning and Gender – UCLA – GSE&IS March 08 2007
K3 collaborative e-learning paradigm K3 as a tool for collaborative work to enable virtual groups (and in them, of course, individual learners) to produce content and acquire knowledge in the special course domain to acquire information and communication competence Information Engineering - Department of Computer and Information Science University of Constance E-Learning and Gender – UCLA – GSE&IS March 08 2007

Gender mainstreaming in e-learning Information Engineering - Department of Computer and Information Science University of Constance E-Learning and Gender – UCLA – GSE&IS March 08 2007
Gender mainstreaming The gender concept, in contrast to the bi-polar sex concept, considers differences between male and female behavior and their norms/value systems to be socially and culturally constructed. Information Engineering - Department of Computer and Information Science University of Constance E-Learning and Gender – UCLA – GSE&IS March 08 2007
Gender mainstreaming Gender mainstreaming is not the same as the promotion of women or a politics of equalization of women, but rather a politics of equalizing the opportunities for development both for men and women. http://www.bmbf.de/pub/women_in_education_and_research.pdf.
