My CCK09 PLE

The 2009 version of the Connectivism and Connective Knowledge online course (CCK09) has started, facilitated by Stephen Downes and George Siemens. I started creating my PLE to follow and participate in this great event. My CCK09 PLE so far includes:

- My blog.

- A PLEF page to aggregate distributed discussions and resources related to CCK09 (blogposts, videos, audios etc.)

- A PLEM page to collect and share good learning resources related to connectivism.

Really looking forward to this great event!

SMashup Personal Learning Environments

This paper explores the possibility to use semantic mashups to develop PLEs. I will present the same at the ECTEL MUPPLE workshop organized in the framework of the ROLE project.

Abstract:

Mashups have become the driving force behind the development of Personal Learning Environments (PLE). Creating mashups in an ad hoc manner is, however, for end users with little or no prgramming background not an easy task. In this paper, we leverage the possibility to use Semantic Mashups (SMashups) for a scalable approach to creating mashups. We present the conceptual and technical details of PLEFExt as a flexible framework for mashup-driven end-user development of PLEs. PLEF-Ext uses the Service Mapping Description (SMD) approach to adding semantic annotations to RESTful Web services, and leverages the SMD annotations to facilitate the automatic data mediation and user-friendly creation of learning mashups.

ECTEL09 call for registration

============================================================
CALL FOR REGISTRATION
EC-TEL 2009
Nice September 29th - October 2nd, 2009
Fourth European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning
"Learning in the Synergy of Multiple Disciplines"
www.ectel09.org
============================================================

We kindly remind you to register to the Fourth European conference
on Technology Enhanced Learning and Workshops


CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES

Currently, the face of learning is changing substantially. Formal learning is surrounded by informal learning opportunities, classroom learning is complemented by workplace learning, and even the frontiers between teaching and learning are disappearing as people are learning collaboratively and engaging in knowledge communities. These developments are driven by technological advancements: large scale knowledge repositories provide learners with content and support them in an individualized and adaptive way; semantic technologies provide contextualized and task-specific information; the Web 2.0 enables people to actively take part in knowledge communication and knowledge construction. These new tools and technical means need psychological and pedagogical models of learning which take into account the vast diversity of situations where learning takes place, as well as the specific needs of individuals, tutors and organisations.

ECTEL 2009 aims to bring together new technological developments and learning models. The conference will explore how the synergy of multiple disciplines, ranging from Computer Science, Education, Psychology, Cognitive Science, and Social Science, can provide new, more effective and more sustainable, technology-enhanced learning solutions. The conference welcomes researchers from European and Non-European countries and industries to present recent advancements from technologies, applications, and learning models in all areas of technology enhanced learning.
