Using Internet for Sharing Knowledge

Jeroen [email protected]

IDEC Changed until the end 90s: F2F meetings,

European Bulletin, start individual email, snail mail

end 90: first website. Information on associations, adresses, dates, start group email, less snail mail

2 years ago: new website with more flexibility: CMS, information on associations, proceedings, projects, ....

last year: Cluj, presentation on new tools, setup WIKI, no response

What do we want?

1.do we want improvement in collaboration and the sharing of knowledge ?

2.why ? give some arguments

3.how? give some ideas

Where are we now?

Internet changed We have the tools to become a

community Do we want to use it? What do we need to make it happen?

Internet changed

retrieve information

one-way direction websites static user a consumer

no email, but communicating online (facebook, hyves)

people publish journals, photographs, blogs

web a two-way street. No high tech- skills needed

user is producer and communicator

Social software

allows to interact and share data with other users.

enables collaborative work knowledge creation and storage carried

out through collaborative writing we can create actual online communities

del.icio.ussocial bookmarking

Web 2.0

Podcasts

Google earth

Blogs

like online journals for a particular person

owner will post a message periodically, allowing others to comment

blogs allow comments on the entries, thereby creating a discussion forum

can become professional conversation

Example: Blog

WIKI

a website that can be quickly and collaboratively created.

Teachers use wikis to communicate and collaborate with students.

Class wikis include text, pictures, links to other resources and multimedia.

Students collaborate their knowledge and learn from each other

IDEC could do this too!

Social bookmarking

post your list of bookmarks or favorites websites for others to search and view them

examples: diggo, del.icio.us easy integrated in your browser

Social libraries

allows visitors to keep track of their collectibles, books, records, and DVDs

users share their collections. recommendations can be generated based on user ratings

example: LibraryThing

What can we do?

We set up and use a WIKI http://wikispaces.com

With IDEC members With your network / association / colleagues With your students

We share blogs on http://www.edublogs.com

Ongoing reflection

We share bookmarks on http://www.de.lio.us.com

We share books on Library Thing: http://www.librarything.com/

I cannot do this !!

Request
