Coping with the complexity of pedagogical mediation in distributed learning environments: effective e-teaching and e-tutoring strategies in the web 2.0
This event took place on Thursday 20 December 2007 at 11:30
Paula de Waal University of Padova, Italy
The web 2.0 Scenario, when adopted as "expanded" learning environment, requires new e-tutoring models and some creativity in learning activities design. In the Open System of wikis, blogs, podcasting, rss hubs, folksonomy and multi-tagging, student-centred activities have to be properly designed in order to be relevant as learning processes. Common errors in design are the faith on "affordance" as agent of change, the lack of formative assessment strategies, and the interpretation of all kinds of immersion and social engagement as motivation to learn.
Paula de Waal will illustrate some successful activity models designed for higher education of teachers and tutors adopting web 2.0 environments, commenting the pedagogical approaches, the need of deep changes in moderation styles, and "uneasiness" management.

Multimedia and Information Systems is...
We focus on content-based information retrieval over a wide range of data spanning form unstructured text and unlabelled images over spoken documents and music to videos. This encompasses the modelling of human perception of relevance and similarity, the learning from user actions and the up-to-date presentation of information. Currently we are building a research version of an integrated multimedia information retrieval system MIR to be used as a research prototype. We aim for a system that understands the user's information need and successfully links it to the appropriate information sources, be it a report or a TV news clip. This work is guided by the vision that an automated knowledge extraction system ultimately empowers people making efficient use of information sources without the burden of filing data into specialised databases.
