Microlearning Conference 2007: Thank You
Microlearning2007 :: Transforming Knowledge in the Digital Micromedia Ecology took place on June 21-22, 2007 in Innsbruck, Austria.
And it was a very great conference indeed! Thanks to all of the participants who made it such a striking success.
Please stay tuned, as we will permanently update this site
in the next days and weeks to document all the ideas and people of the rapidly emerging Micro-Network.
Here you can find all the conference presentations. And here is a digital edition of the Conference Proceedings. (Please send us a note to conference *at* microlearning.org if you want to obtain a copy.)
"Microlearning" is what learners incidentally do when immersed in the highly fragmented digital environments of today, characterized by e-mail and mobile texting, googling and podcasting, micro-publishing via blogs, wikis, aggregation & feeds, and - increasingly - the Mobile Web.
As "microcontent" is breaking free from macro-sized silos to form new, much more loosely coupled formats and structures, old forms of e-learning, knowledge management, and information acquisition are failing.
The emerging new digital micromedia ecology calls for the design of innovative experiences, processes and technologies: personal and dynamic, casual and volatile, but still complex and effective.
Microlearning 2007 brings together international experts and leaders from different fields to discuss the impact of microcontent-based technologies and practices: teachers, educators, and learning technologists; academic scholars, consultants, and corporate practitioners; information architects, software developers, and experts in mobile telephony and data services.

Program Chair: Martin Lindner (RSA, Innsbruck)
Advisory Board (tbc): Peter Parnes (Luleå), Kristóf Nyíri (Budapest); Michael Kerres (Duisburg); Erik Duval (Leuven); Claudio Dondi (Bologna)

Call for Papers
We invite papers and posters to present new visions and analysis, innovative concepts, projects, and best practice results related to the impact of the emerging new digital micromedia ecology on the acquistion and construction of information and knowledge. This includes, but is not restricted to, the following topics:- The future of classroom- & course-based learning
e.g. changes of the course format in Higher Education, vocational education, and corporate training; changing roles of teachers/trainers/learners; guided learning vs. informal learning; LMS, VLEs, PLEs; experiments with "e-Learning 2.0" (wikis, blogs, social software; podcasts, feeds, tagging ...); impact of technology on educational issues, and vice versa ... - Transformations of knowledge
e.g. theories of knowledge and "microknowledge" for the Digital Era; knowledge in human minds vs. digital modeled knowledge externalization of knowledge; design of new knowledge and information architectures; "Semantic Web 2.0" concepts ... - Information workers & knowledge workers
e.g. characteristics of new digital knowledge work & information work; how to embed learning (formal and informal) and information acquisition in highly fragmented digital workflows; dealing with the crisis of attention; user-generated content in education/training? .. - Mobile learning & mobile information
e.g. the mobile phone as a platform for microinformation and microlearning; Mobile Web 2.0 - Mobile e-Learning 2.0; latest innovative applications and technologies for the Mobile Web; mobile data becoming mainstream; interface and experience design for mobile microinformation/microlearning ... - Evaluation of digital learning systems
e.g. evaluation methods & models, criteria & theories; quantitative vs. qualitative approaches; interpretation of results of exemplary empiric studies; evaluation of usability, accessability, HMI, software ergonomy, screen design, multimedia, m-learning ...
Schedule:
We invite research papers (ca. 6 - 8 pages), short papers (4 - 6 p.) or posters (2 - 3 p.). See the Author Guidelines for further information and uploading.After undergoing peer-review, accepted papers will be published digitally and on paper until June 10, 2007 in the Conference Proceedings (Innsbruck University Press).
