Building Collaborative eLearning Environments

From Ideation to Ecology

Abstract:

This session will focus on building constructivist eLearning communities through opensource eLearning systems. We will glance at collaborative eLearning environments like Mahara and Sakai, along with open source mash-ups using TeamBox for Collaborative Project Management, Tumblr and Endnote for mobile learning, and more. After being introduced to these systems we will discuss how to set up student driven CLE's in your classrooms, schools, and communities for project based eLearning. Participants will get ample sandbox time with TeamBox, Mahara and Sakai instances. We will also discuss what's on the horizon for Project Based eLearning and CLE's. Come and find out what student centric eLearning can bring to your learning community.

The full presentation will be here by Wednesday 7 July 2010....
