I enjoyed this seminar a lot. I was able to improve my knowledge about eLearning especially because we didn´t just talk about eLearning in a theoretical form – we actually did eLearning! Also I liked the nice atmosphere in our seminar which enabled us to have interesting conversations and good collaboration.

Thanks to Ralf and to each participant of our seminar!

Have a great summer 2008

Juliane, thank you very much for your helpfull short instruction about “how to use a beamer and laptop for a presentation”.

First we dicussed about this task in our latest seminar session, then we split up in groups and created a poster about each learning theorie. Finally each group presented their results.

We used Skype and Adobe Connect for this session. With Skype it worked well to communicate and to chat;  with Adobe Connect we had some technical problems. Unfortunately Jonas´s online presentation about zotero failed because of that. Nevertheless THANKS to him for the effort. Well, it seemed that it´s quite normal that technical difficulties occur in those kind of online settings. Now we know how it feels

I liked our first online session, because I drunk a nice non e-coffee and laughed about our funny chat.

See you soon!

This is my favourite eLearning Place!

I prefer to learn at home, because I´v got everything I need around me (a desk, a notebook, internet connection, printer, books, material etc.). Another advantage of learning in my room is that it´s quite there. Also I like it to drink a Latte Macchiato on the balcony or in the kitchen during my breaks.

The disadvantage of this place is that I study and sleep in the same room. Especially in busy times my material is spread around the whole room and it doesn´t feel nice to sleep between pales of books and papers.

This is my favourite non-eLearning place!

Usually I study at home, but sometimes I enjoy it very much to study in a nice café for a change.There you can drink a delicious coffee and at the moment it´s even possibly to catch some sun

I like working in groups and most of the time we choose the café “Café nur für Gäste” to meet.

Yesterday we spent a long day at university until we finished our two videos.

We put our cut video sequences together into one movie, integrated the “PLE-chart” screencapture and edited the passages between the video sequences with some effects. Finally we chose the sound track.

Then we started to create our VLE-Video. Therefore we wrote notes on stickers (post-its) and took pictures of each image. We also edited the passages between the pictures with some effects and chose another sound track for this video. The second video didn´t take as much effort as the first one.

Finally we saved our videos

Then we finished our Powerpoint Presentation and put Links to the videos.

You have seen our results today. Thank you for your attention!

We weren´t sure wether to use Windows Movie Maker or iMovie to cut our video. The advantage of Movie Maker is that both Daniel and me have this program on our computers at home. The advantage of iMovie is that someone from the “Medienzentrum” can give us advice in case problems occur.

Well, we decided to use iMovie (the Macs in Room 514 are more attractive ). First we got our video transfered in iMovie. After several trials to use the sreencaptures in the program iMovie we gave up and changed to Windows Movie Maker. Then we brought our video scenes and the screencaptures in order.

I know Mac and Windows compatibility problems are quite common, but unfortunately they took a lot of our time on Tuesday.
