Publicity and usage of „Web 2.0“ tools amongyouths in the UK: Ofcom studies 2006 & 2008

• no gender difference in total internet use (12-15 year olds)

• big increases

• 8h/w in 2006 -> 13.8h/w in 2008

• 22% have an online photo album in 2008 (7% in 2006)

• girls use differs qualitatively

• school work, communication & celebrity news

• creative activities: 72% girls vs. 61% boys

• social networking: 51% girls vs. 38% boys

• creating own websites: 36% girls vs. 25% boys

Cutting through Ne(x)t Gen Babble

What wave?

70.000.000+ „active“ users

85% market share of 4-year universities

#1 applicationphoto sharing

14 million photos uploaded daily

Datasource: facebook press room

Most often used internet application by young people is

instant messaging

„recent“ entry on TBL‘s blog (March 2008):

„The benefit of the Semantic Web is that data may be re-used in ways unexpected

by the original publisher.

That is the value added.

So when a Semantic Web start-up either feeds data to others who reuse it in interesting ways, or itself uses data produced by others, then we

start to see the value of each bit increased through the network effect.“

where is the integrationof ubiquitous computing?

re-organize teaching & learning

Unconferences -> Unseminars?

mix in open technolgy and open space

Barcamps -> Unicamps?

tech for teaching supports- takes out drudgery- sparks thinking & ideas- fun & flow- recruit good students- learning & research of teacher

1.0 blueprint

„classic“ E-Learning: distribution + control„Blended Learning“ / hybrid courses: tutoring„Microlearning“: self-service

2.0 blueprint

literally thousands of „Web 2.0“ tools

cc by Karsten D. Wolf 2008

before: my average course had 30 pages

today: 250 - 350 pages, ~90% done by students

higher motivation & deeper learning

much smaller participation gap

• 3.0 blueprint by Nova Spivack

• seamlessness & interoperable whole

• ubiquitous connectivity (fast & mobile)

• network computing (SaS, distributed computing, grid computing, cloud computing)

• open technologiews (APIs, Creative Commons)

• open identity, open reputation, roaming personal data & preferences

• semantic web

• distributed databases accessible by semantic search

• „intelligent“ applications (natural language processing, machine learning, agents)

cc by Karsten D. Wolf 2008

most realistic semantic informationis semantic meta-data automatically created

without the user filling out some kind of form

best candidates right now:location (GIS)

Understanding Open Content Authors Motivation

• Altruism – for the love of other people

• Reputation – showing off one‘s own capability = self-promotion

• Interest, Fun and Flow – doing it for the Joy of it

• Learning – learning by authoring public entities

• Collaboration – tackling something not feasible for oneself

• Job – getting a paycheck

• Assignment – getting a grade and a diploma

• Saving – no need to buy textbooks and giving back some time

• Political Statement – e.g. anti capitalist point of view, anti copyrights pov…

• Convenience – it is easier to find notes in public repositories than on my HD

casual authors are looking for community

authors out for reputation and knowledge spend top hours

summary

• change won‘t be automatic

• internet-savvy students remixing the web: rare

• technology is at hand

• we need to change the architecture

• paradigm shift 1: openess & distributed authority

• paradigm shift 2: performance more important than „keep it to your chest“ knowledge

• brick & mortar more important than ever

• we need to train next gen teachers and students
