Microlearning 2007 Elevator Pitch
The Microlearning Conferences are about new forms of learning emerging in the microcontent-based digital media environments.
Microcontent is the kind of (very) small pieces (quite) loosely joined that emerged in the last five years, in the Web as well as in the mobile/cellular sphere.
The usual buzzwords -- Smartmobs, Google Galaxy, Blogosphere, Web 2.0, Semantic Web ... -- all point to this fundamental phenomenon: microcontent circulation and resulting micromedia environments.
Microlearning2007 (> Call for Papers) asks for the consequences of these developments for individual and organizational knowledge.
The Microsoft Office workplace is exploding, and so is the traditional classroom.
Walls are falling, borders are blurring, spaces are opening.
New digital technologies and accompanying cultural practices are pulverizing old macrocontent, transforming it into clouds and clusters of digital chunks -- meme-sized, heavily annotated and extremely hyperlinked.
New knowledges are not based on archived documents and the individual human memory anymore, taking shape only for moments and in concrete situations, before melting back into the all-pervasive digital environment.
How can we understand and make use of these new knowledge structures? How can we create new information architectures? How can we design new learning environments, learning paths and learning experiences?
Four thematic focal points will be approached from the micro-perspective:
[1] "Mobile Web 2.0": Possible uses for education, knowledge and information
[2] Structuring and designing the new MicroWeb (Web 2.0, Semantic Web)
[3] Beyond the Classroom: Courses, learners and teachers
[4] Impact on Corporate Training & Workflow Learning
