Innovationen für die gesellschaftliche Entwicklung im Internet

Der erste Tag beim ZSI-Kongress kann auch online besucht werden. Mittels __flashmeeting__ werden Bild und Ton aller Panels auf folgenden Adressen live zugänglich gemacht. Um live dabei zu sein brauchen Sie einen Computer mit Soundkarte, __flash Version 7__ und eingeschalteten Lautsprecher. Eigene Kamera auf Ihrer Seite ist nicht erforderlich - so Sie aber darüber verfügen, können Sie sich auch bildlich im TechGate bemerkbar machen. Jedenfalls möglich ist, via chat Fragen oder Kommentare zu schicken, die in der Diskussion berücksichtigt werden können.[http://flashmeeting.open.ac.uk/fm/index.php?pwd=23771e-5790] von 09.00 bis 12.30[http://flashmeeting.open.ac.uk/fm/index.php?pwd=bc203d-5791]von 13.30 - 18.30Ab Ende der Veranstaltung (18.30) werden die Aufnahmen des Tages überspielt und sind unter folgenden Adressen vollständig dokumentiert abrufbar:[http://flashmeeting.open.ac.uk/fm/memo.php?pwd=23771e-5790] (Vormittag)[http://flashmeeting.open.ac.uk/fm/memo.php?pwd=bc203d-5791] (Nachmittag)

EARLI Biennial Conference 2007

…EARLI 2007 will provide an opportunity not only to present the results of your recent work, but also to discuss research findings with other scholars. The theme of the conference, Developing Potentials for Learning, has at least two levels of meaning: the growing importance of enriching the potentials of learning and the unidirectional trend of increasing possibilities in educational systems both play an important role in educational research… [Beno Csapo & Csaba Csikos on the Conference Website]

The 12th European Conference for Research on Learning and Instruction (EARLI2007) will take place in Budapest, Hungary, from August 28 to September 1, 2007. The deadline for proposal submission is November 30, 2006. Interested parties should have no problem finding a slot among the many conference themes. [Sebastian Fiedler]

… although unfortunately I might miss it myself, is the blogtalk reloaded (Oct. 2-3, 2006, Vienna, Austria)
After a short phone conversation with Thomas Burg, one of the main organisers of this event, I just had a look at the conference website and it seems to be a good event for meeting up with researchers and practicioners around the topic of social software. It seems to be also a nice alternative to the highly academic events as I spotted some papers settled in the corporate and business context.

What a pitty that the EC-TEL conference will take place around the same time in Crete.

after a few days in Brussels, I am now back in Vienna. Actually I am already planning my next trip. I am going to be at the eLearning 2006 Conference in Bangkok, where I am going to present a paper on some experiences from the iCamp project. The event is the third one of this series.

The International Conference on Knowledge Management has launched its call for participation. I have attended this event in the past few years and can recommend it. It attracts a good mix of experts and leaves enough room for discussions - formal and informal ones.

Now in its sixth year, I-KNOW has a tradition of bringing together Europe´s leading researchers and practitioners involved in knowledge management. Attracting more than 450 attendees, I-KNOW is the premier conference on knowledge management in Europe. I-KNOW provides a perfect opportunity to stay abreast of the latest developments in the field. Both the human/organizational perspective and the technology perspective are covered. The novelty and the quality of the accepted contributions are ensured by a high-callibre program committee featuring international experts on a broad range of knowlege management topics. All submitted papers went through a rigorous review process, with a final acceptance rate of 40% only for full papers.

Overall, I-KNOW ‘06 received a total of 154 full paper submissions, with 62 accepted full papers. 11 further submissions were recommended for acceptance as short papers.

I-KNOW
‘06 is hosted by the Know-Center, Austria’s Competence Center for Knowledge Management (http://en.know-center.at/) and it takes place concurrently with the 20th International Conference on Informatics for Environmental
Protection - Managing Environmental Knowledge (EnviroInfo-2006, www.enviroinfo.net).

The program includes keynotes by a number of internationally renowned experts; please visit the Web site for scheduled times and the keynoters’ short biographies:

* Bebo White, Stanford University, US; Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), Fellow of the International WWW Institute

* Franz Josef Radermacher, University of Ulm, GE; Scientific Director, Research Institute for Applied Knowledge Processing (FAW/n)

* Ronald Maier, Chair in Management Information Systems, Martin-Luther-University Halle Wittenberg, GE

* Peter Scott, Head of the Centre for New Media Knowledge Media Institute Open University, UK

the centre for social innovation went on a knowledge walk for two days. somewhere in upper austria, well actually in gösing, most of the staff members of our organisation were discovering their strenghts, some old conflicts, secret football fans, and some nice hiking tracks.

overall, we spent two rather intensiv days, which gave the opportunity to discuss outside the regular office routine.

2 weeks ago the PROLEARN network of excellence on professional technology enhanced learning had a very successful summer school which took place in Bled, Slovenia. For all of those who missed it, but would like to get an idea of what it was like, there are various options to follow up on the event.

All presentations and recorded talks can be obtained via www.prolearn-academy.org or directly in Confolio (slides) and PROLEARN TV (video).

Here is the objectives of the event as announced on the PROLEARN Academy website:

Building on its first success in 2005, PROLEARN, the Network of Excellence in Technology Enhanced Learning for Professionals, is pleased to announce its Summer School 2006. Our ambition is to foster cross-domain training and collaboration opportunities among researchers in Europe and beyond, working in the disparate fields of expertise which promote the advancement of TEL at the workplace. The programme includes lectures from leading professors in the field, trans-European tutoring, mentoring, and joint research opportunities, as well as internships with industrial partners. Additionally the school will offer practical sessions in research methodology and the basics of Technology Enhanced Learning. Advanced PhD students will be identified to present their research at the EC-TEL 2006 Conference in October in Greece (extended deadline: June 14, 2006).

this is a nice summary of Ton Zijlstra of a recent event that we organised here in Vienna in the context of the EDEN conference 2006.
