Individual Work: Propose Topic Logout Home -> Weekly -> individual work -> all topics Topic from description literature mentor's comment accepted TEACHER EDUCATION AT A DISTANCE Ana Sousa I propose to describe effective/innovative ICT models for teacher education (training and professional development). This research is very relevant to my doctoral project which aims at proposing a training model for teachers of Portuguese as a foreign language. Numerous articles/papers/research reports available on the web, namely regarding the PT3 Project - Preparing Tomorrow's Teachers to use technology (www.pt3.org). E-LEARNING AND HEALTH Annemarie Jost Computer work and e-learning can be used to improve health for example by getting relevant information on health topics and e-learning can leed to health problems, for example back problems or psychic problems. I want to describe my own experience in implementing health related aspects into online-teaching and research some ergonomic, stress management and public health literature. Schwartz, F.W. (Hrsg.): Das Public Health Buch; München 2003; EN ISO 9241-1 (Ergonomic requirements for office work with visual display terminals) An Ergonomie Handbook for Online teaching developed at the University of Lübeck My own book: Jost, A.: Zeitstörungen; Bonn 2000 A guide from "Bundesministerium für Arbeit und Sozialordung": Der Bildschirm-Arbeitsplatz INTERACTIVITY Cherry Stewart What is interactivity in relation to online learning? What forms of interactivity encourage sustained learning? Do different individuals/groups (male/female; young/old; culture/socialisation; etc) require different forms of interaction to gain maximum benefit from an online environment. Does this literature have to be available online? INSTRUCTOR-TUTOR-MENTOR-MODERATOR Cordula Wild There are many demands and responsibilities for an "online teacher". What are these roles about and where are the differences? Which kind of guidance meets the needs of which courses and participants? I believe, this should be determined in advance before any online-course is developed, because it has great influence on the course design. I haven't checked out these in the moment, I only know, that the Canadian Lady Linda Harasim wrote something about that. COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS Cristina Camarena I wish to explore the pedagogical aspects of online collaborative projects, especially for foreign language teaching/learning. I have already carried out a couple of projects following mainly my intuitive drive and my experience as a foreign language teacher. I would now like to research on the benefits such projects can add to face-2-face instruction in terms of language acquisition, accomodation of differents learning styles and multiple intelligence, cross-curricular aspects, cultural awareness, motivation, etc literature found in the WWW, or any insights the other participants can provide me with LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS: AN OVERVIEW Dennis Reil This article gives an overview about the term LMS, features of different LMS and an overview of important aspects which have to be considered while choosing a LMS.

COPYRIGHT AND E-LEARNING Guido Robers Copyright - especially digital rights management – is one crucial backbone in e-learning development. After a short history of copyright in the international context I want to summarize major implications, e.g. copyright in online forums. Emphasis would lie on European Copyright. “Report on the Cambridge-MIT Institute workshop, 10th December, 2001” http://human.ntu.ac.uk/elc/app2/cmit_workshop_report.pdf T.

This research is very important for me as teacher of French and Italian as a foreign language. WWW THE NEW CULTURE OF LEARNING Isabella Leibrandt The ICT are innovative in a sense as they have created a wide-spread debate concerning new concepts of teaching and the formation of the society of knowledge. What is the new philosophy of learning and what are the pedagogical bases for the use of the ICT in teaching? I would like to reflect on this issue before applying the ICT to any specific field. There is a great deal of literature published and much of it is avialable online.

There are many reasons for this. I want to explain this reason and some aspects about learning with new media. I have got a few books, but I must search some more. MANAGING A COLLABORATIVE ONLINE COURSE THROUGH CO-OPERATIVE WORK manuela milani Managing a collaborative online course through co-operative work: a possibility or a must? Does managing a post-graduate online course based on collaborative learning imply, or even request, the teaching team to work co-operatively? Under what conditions and how? Does it enhance an efficient course management? I'm looking for literature, please help me! FUN FACTORS OF AN ONLINE SEMINAR Peter Augsdorfer Part of being at a lecture is that it is fun watching the professor and chatting to your fellow students (atmosphere) . Online teaching is a new way of teaching, but it seems to me very isolating. I want to find out where is the fun factor and how to put fun into the lecture. Maybe this is all only a wrong assumption. I haven't found out if there is any literature IN THE QUEST FOR THE PERFECT E-LEARNER Roberto Yunes 1. By taking into account some of the downfalls e-learning is plagued with, I will try to learn a bit more about the role of one of the main progagonists, the e-learner and its personal attributes. 2. It will give me the opportunity of -hopefully- identifying some factors -among many others- that makes e-learning a not yet fully delivered promise. Since hitherto I don't have any formal resource to deal with, I will deliver the whole reference section with my final project. GOOD TIMES, BAD TIMES: E-LEARNING AS A SOAP-OPERA Susanne Benker Which part has dramaturgy in e-learning? How can stories like soaps support e-learning? I’ll try to show by some examples how dramatury leads the user through a subject matter. What is essential? Which part have different media like film, video, audio and the web? Is there a future in this kind of learning? I consider this aspect to be important for my individual work because I plan to design e-learnings with this approach. Just I am looking for. THE NEW ROLES OF TEACHERS AND STUDENTS IN ONLINE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS Vera Queiroz The new roles and competences for both teachers and students to have in online courses. As I have been trying to focus my research on these new issues, it would be great if I could develop a work based on something that really interests me professionally and individually.
