The project is quite challenging because of the multimedia and technological demands, but if we can launch a couple of students into really making use of vodcasting, then it would add to the capacity building once they go back to their home countries.

vodcasting in education2.0 presentation
For the upcoming conference of Online Educa Berlin, I made a presentation on vodcasting in Education2.0. The presentation is based on a pilot project that ITM is running with international students this year.
The project is quite challenging because of the multimedia and technological demands, but if we can launch a couple of students into really making use of vodcasting, then it would add to the capacity building once they go back to their home countries.

enlightening conference
What a wonderful conference it was in Fredericton, New Brunswick on mobile learning. Government, universities and research centers were represented and attended. It was a real treed to be able to speak in front of such an enlightened audience. The speakers were the cream of the crop on mobile learning: John Traxler, Steve Wexler, Stella Lee, Kevin Harvey and me (me not being cream, just soje).
My presentation focused on mobile learning projects and social media to support the participants in those mobile projects. The audience engaged in the presentation making it an extra interactive moment adding to the exchange of all our knowledge.
Some of the presentations were taped, if interested you can look at them on ustream.tv/ignatia
It got me thinking about possible partnerships and … reshaping my blog – adding presentations, papers and abstracts.

lectures in mobile devices and eLearning content: constructivist method
This day was filled with lectures that I had to give. In the morning I gave a joined lecture on mobile learning and structuring eLearning content. The audience were ten medical doctors who want to start a telemedicine website/project in low resource settings.
Most of them have a Local Area Network in which they can distribute learning materials or surveys etcetera. It was quite interesting to see how face-to-face learning can put your nose unto the weak spots of a presentation. Although I asked to know the public I needed to speak to and I was informed, the material still was not taylored enough. A lot of questions arose while giving the mobile presentation, mainly because most of the learners were not accostumed to the principles of CMS, SCORM, ... still I did not mind because... the lecture was based on a constructivist method.
In the end of the presentation, we had drifted from the presentation, yet, the learning goals of the lecture were reached and more. Because of the constructivistic method we had some space to make the course up as we went along, based on the immediate feedback of the learners. So they really learned and ... I did as well.
Although the presentation stood its ground, the doctors pointed out the weak spots and hopefully I will get it stronger for the next presentation which will be for a larger audience.

mobile revision on h.264
Today we decided to redesign the content for our multimedia e-courses without the H.264 codec. It was just not possible to assure a good work flow with this codec, although the quality is obvious.
