AM in FM - The Animation Mentor community p2p learning using FlashMeeting
This event took place on Tuesday 23 May 2006 at 12:30

Linda J. Castaneda University of Murcia

Understanding the pedagogy of peer learning is one of the most important knowledge frontiers in research on educational technologies and indeed in education generally. The FlashMeeting research project on innovative online events has provided a wealth of naturalistic data on groups working together.

In this talk I will present the initial results of an evaluation of one specific p2p learning community: 80-100 students who are studying independently in the US based Animation Mentor programme. The study explores the nature of their interchange, their work, their social relationships and their sense of community in this innovative environment.

Knowledge Management is...


Knowledge Management
Creating learning organisations hinges on managing knowledge at many levels. Knowledge can be provided by individuals or it can be created as a collective effort of a group working together towards a common goal, it can be situated as "war stories" or it can be generalised as guidelines, it can be described informally as comments in a natural language, pictures and technical drawings or it can be formalised as mathematical formulae and rules, it can be expressed explicitly or it can be tacit, embedded in the work product. The recipient of knowledge - the learner - can be an individual or a work group, professionals, university students, schoolchildren or informal communities of interest.
Our aim is to capture, analyse and organise knowledge, regardless of its origin and form and make it available to the learner when needed presented with the necessary context and in a form supporting the learning processes.
