Designing Self-Organized Contextualized Feedback Loops

This paper deals with self-organized contextualized feedback loops. Based on a summary of related work in the domain of health and medicine we discuss the potential of personal informatics systems to build self-organized feedback contextualized loops that are controlled and initiated by learners. A design model is introduced and future research is discussed

PLE in formal education: challenges for openness and control

This short comment reflects on a critical account of educational tech- nology and makes reference to the chapter by Vieritz et al. about the use of widget bundles for formal learning in higher education

Mediendidkatik in der Lehrerbildung

Der Beitrag diskutiert Ziele und Inhalte der Aus- und Weiterbildung von Lehrpersonen im Bereich der Mediendidaktik. Vorliegende Angebote - vor allem in der Weiterbildung - sind oft entweder technisch oder medienerzieherisch ausgerichtet und als solches zu eng ausgeführt. Neben der Auseinandersetzung mit Möglichkeiten digitaler Medien im Unterricht sollte die didaktische Reflexion über die Bedeutung von Medien in Lehr-Lernprozessen im Mittelpunkt stehen. Dazu sind insbesondere die pädagogischen Ziele des Medieneinsatzes zu benennen, zu deren Analyse und Bewertung Leitfragen vorgestellt werden

The MUPPLE competence continuum

The idea of Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) seems to polarise the educational sphere into supporters and opponents. Both groups relate their enthusiasm or criticism to underlying competences motivated by or needed for building up, running, and maintaining a PLE. Within the following article, results of a qualitative study with multiple cases will be presented to shed light onto which competence and which of its building blocks are involved in running a (mash-up) PLE. Data about the involved skills, abilities, habits, attitudes and knowledge will be presented in a raster of the five dimensions 'plan', 'reflect', 'monitor', 'act', and 'interact' against the three stages 'start', 'trigger', and 'outcome'. The findings indicate that there is a continuum ranging from the ones needed right ahead to the ones ultimately sought

Energy Awareness Displays: designing a prototype for personalised energy consumption feedback at the workplace

Energy Awareness Displays: designing a prototype for personalised energy consumption feedback at the workplace. 2012 IEEE Seventh International Conference on Wireless, Mobile and Ubiquitous Technology in Education (pp. 211-213). March, 27-30, 2012, Takamatsu, Japan: IEEE Computer Society.The paper describes work-in-progress on a prototype providing personalised energy consumption feedback at the workplace. Based on a provisional framework developed in the context of an ongoing research project the prototype and the supporting infrastructure are conceptually outlined
