I've sent a request for such a wiki to http://moodle.cabweb.net We'll see what happens?? -----Original Message----- From: Virtual Learning Environments [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of CHRIS JEFFRIES Sent: 09 March 2005 08:47 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [VLES] How widespread is the use of the term (and the concept) of e-learning? How about a Wiki. Does anybody run one. If not. www.moodle.org runs a public Moodle and Moodle has a Wiki facility. It seems to me this would be a really good tool for creating a collabartive text, and it would be fascinating (for me anyway) to see it being used in this way. (Those who know, ignore the following... A Wiki is a collection of through-the-browser edittable web pages with a version control system. Anyone can edit the page in any way. Any changes are logged and the change log can be inspected - so you can see who changed what. (It is possible to roll back changes if someone makes mischievous alterations.) In addition, you can turn text on the page into a hyperlink and this opens up a fresh page. ) Dan Sutch writes: > One of the benefits of e-learning is the ability for learners to access a wide range of experts from remote locations. As a vicarious learner, I have observed with great interest the discussions of experts on this list and am developing my own understanding by observing the way in which different members express their understanding and enter into negotiation with other members on the list. > > The possibility of experts writing collaboratively provides a great opportunity to track the development of shared understanding within an e-learning context. It would be wonderful to see how a text develops through this discussion board, rather than as a result of it. Rather than seeking the permission of list members to use their views, why not propose a collaborative text? It would be interesting to see how the subject, outline and content are developed by multiple authors negotiating understanding, and through that process, defining a shared understanding. > > I have no doubt that the process would be a tricky one, but having to represent and negotiate meaning and understanding throughout the writing process would create a very interested (and exciting) outcome. > > Dan > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Virtual Learning Environments [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On > Behalf Of Miguel Nunes > Sent: 08 March 2005 15:47 > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Re: [VLES] How widespread is the use of the term (and the concept) of e-learning? > > Hi Niki, > >> we could write a very good paper on this useful to everyone. but have >> in mind I am more into > > That could be a very good idea. However, we would have ask permission to the list if we are going to use their contributions. Furthermore, it could be interesting to link e-learning as a concept with all the learning theories we have been discussing. I agree with some of the points made, that e-learning only depicts the link with the technology and has hitherto not had a clear connotation with either a delivery approach or a specific learning theory. So it is quite possible that e-learning may not be viable, or even necessary, in the near future. > > Miguel > ______________________________________________________________________ > José Miguel Baptista Nunes, Lic Mat Apl., MSc, PhD, ILTM, MBCS, FIMIS > > Lecturer > Programme Co-ordinator MSc in Information Management Department of > Information Studies University of Sheffield Regent Court Sheffield S1 > 4DP > Tel: +44 (0)114 22 22645 > Fax: +44 (0 114 2780300 > E-mail: [log in to unmask] > Url: http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/~is/people/nunes.html > > ***************** List information: ***************** Remember - replies go by default to the entire list. > Access the list via the web on > http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/vle.html > To unsubscribe, email [log in to unmask] with the message: leave > vle > > > This email and any attachments are confidential and may be the subject of legal privilege.
