In June I am going to the Microlearning conference in Innsbruck. I promised to give a talk with the title “Emerging Microcontent Environments”. First I thought to talk mainly about the MobilED project, but after rethinking the theme of the conference I decided to talk about the following things, too, at least, maybe … For […]

Wikiversity and Wikieducator are right now the two main wiki-education projects in the world. If we look for the definition of wiki, we may include LeMill to the list, even that is not build on wiki engine. LeMill is a “website that allows visitors to add, remove, edit and change (educational) content” (Wiki from Wikipedia). […]
We (Teemu Arina and Teemu Leinonen) are running a beginner friendly practical hands-on workshop called “Uudet sosiaaliset ohjelmistot käytännössä” (new social software in practice) with three facilitators at Interactive Technology in Education -conference on 18th of April, 2007 in Hämeenlinna, Finland. The main language of the full day workshop is finnish (tervetuloa vaan kaikki mukaan […]
It must have been in 2004 in Manchester UK when I first time saw a demo of the FlashMeeting. Thank you Friedrich Scheuermann for the invitation and Peter Scott for the demo. FlashMeeting is a videoconference software that works on a Flash player. This means that in 90% of the web browsers you can use […]
I decided to write another post with comments to the comments we got to the Beyond blogs and wikis: I want better tools for dialogical teaching, learning and research -post. Thank you all! Leigh: Web feeds (RSS etc.) are good, whatever you are interested in to follow blogs, wikis, discussion forums, image/video sharing sites, etc. […]

Blogs and wikis are not (very) good tools for knowledge building because they are not designed for that. Using blogs and wikis for knowledge building […]

Learning and voting
Have you ever seen an online learning system where participants are asked to give votes? In many cases there are votes or rates given for learning content. In an extreme example students are asked to give votes on the best discussion notes posted to some online learning environment. There has been discussion on having rating […]
I thought to post this as another comment to the longish list of comments in the Leigh Blackall’s blog post about Wikiversity and Wikieducator. First at all, I highly appreciate Wayne’s, Brent’s and Leigh’s work and hope that this post is not considered as any kind of personal attack against them. I know that we […]
For some weeks now I have been playing with Nokia N93. For people asking what is that (it is a pretty funky looking piece), I keep on telling that it is a DVD-quality video camera with 3.2 mega-pixels, Carl Zeiss optics, and 3x optical zoom. In addition to the video camera there is WLAN, bluetooth […]
Using mobile phone in teaching and learning (at least experimenting with them) is not news anymore. I hope, having an open source server system designed to be a “read/write, listen/record, watch/capture&share” -platform for learning purposes is news. MobilED project is doing this. There is now available a long paper about the project, the server platform […]
