  1. Presentation by Morten Fahlvik and Lisbeth Thomassen The Media Centre of Bergen University College The virtual book

  2. e-Learing in Virclass We have have some experience with eLearning. What have we learned? • The students are satisfied with the course. • Students wants more interaction with each other and with teacher-/s • Some students want more litterature (or other suitable material) • Difficult to get the books (in time) • Many students confused about the assignments.Need to work more with the assignment text.

  3. LMS and VLE LMS =Learning Management System VLE = virtual learning environment LMS = arena designed for learning Arena where the teacher can give assignments, information, lectures, guidelines, course outline, etc. Our experience with LMS: • Suitable for delivery of information and messages • Suitable for adminstration of students and courses • Suitable for feedback and discussions • Not suitable for presentation and motivation • Not suitable for real time communication

  4. LMS and IT's learning IT's learning is all right, but has a very technical approach to eLearning. «You don't get happy or motivated by logging into IT's learning» IT:s learning have a very technical approach.Ex... handeling of images posted by Robert. .....but there are some good qualities in the VLA / LMS's and we must take advantage of them

  5. Virtual book We are planning to make a virtual book for the course. In computing virtual is what does not physically exist, but is made to appear to by software. This means: • We want to make a book published on the Internet • The book shall contain compendium, tasks, triggers, etc • We want to utilize the best of audiovisual means in the virtual book.

  6. LMS • Bulletinboard with messages to students • Messages/email • Administration of the courseStudyplans, reading lists • Delivery of assignments • Feedback to students • Discussions Virtual book • Syllabus / curriculum • Lecture • Tasks • Triggers Other... • MSN? • “WebTV”? Virtual book and the LMS

  7. Advantages of virtual book • More flexible, not depended on a certain LMS • We don't have to present the syllabus on the terms of the LMS • The virtuel book can be used by campusstudents without access to a LMS • We separate the syllabus from the courseadministration • Utilize means of multimedia without LMS-interface/framework. IT's learning and other VLE/LMS can be a strait jacket • It's too easy to add content in IT's learning.Don't drown the students!

  9. Ideas for a Virtual Book

  10. Design “Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.”—Steve Jobs, 2003 “Design is a plan for arranging elements in such a way as best to accomplish a particular purpose”—Charles Eames “I’ve been amazed at how often those outside the discipline of design assume that what designers do is decoration. Good design is problem solving.”—Jeffery Veen, 2000 “Your products run for election every day and good design is critical to winning the campaign.”—Procter & Gamble CEO A.G. Lafley, 2005 “[Users] said they were more likely to believe Web sites that looked professionally designed.”—Stanford Web Credibility Study, 2002

  11. www.settegrenser.no • www.e-medium.no Examples on a Virtual Book • www.totalforsvaret.se

  12. Conclusion • “To design is to communicate clearly by whatever means you can control or master”—Milton Glaser • “The greatest challenge to any thinker is stating the problem in a way that will allow a solution.”—Bertrand Russell

  13. The teacher role Make the outline. Give the overview Make synopsis/summaries Be the guide the students need.

  14. The teacher role Classical view of computer learning. Inspired of Skinner. The learning process is diveded into Packages and sequences. Controllrutines check if the studnet is on the right track

  15. The teacher role “Free Space” No boundries and no sequences Most students are very confused. What am I supposed to do now?

  16. The teacher role “Free Space” No boundries and no sequences The teacher is present. Student and teacher colaborate and communicate.
