This will be the last article in this category, as the course nears its end. I will have a short recap on my experience in this course and how it changed my learning behavior. This is the logical follow up to my post Learning Environment: Status Quo. Experience in this course This course differs from all my other courses because this is the first course I took outside my “normal” curriculum.

This blog post is one part of the series “learning diary” for a course at my university. Goal of this report is to take and rate a online learning unit.

Goals: Based on the title for that unit I assume we will learn something about storytelling in the context of didactic. What have I learned: People remember stories. If information is wrapped up in a story, it increases the possibility that one remember the information as well. A story consists of a setting, a plot, a character, a narrator with a point of view, (words, pictures, sounds) and most importantly listeners or readers.

This blog post is one part of the series “learning diary” for a course at my university. Goals: Based on the pdf which was provided I assume we will learn something about communities of learners. In the pdf it’s stated that the oldest definition for a university is “a community of learners and teachers”. So I assume we will learn more about the University as a community of teachers and learners.

Today I attended the exhibition of the OEB in Berlin at the Intercontinental Hotel. I only visited the exhibition, which was free because the fee for the conference it self would have been to much to bear (roughly 480€).

This blog post is one part of the series “learning diary” for a course at my university. Goals: Based on the title and the provided pdf for that unit I assume we will learn how to evaluate and compare different examination methods for different kinds of learning goals. I think we will consider target groups, the goal of the examination and several other aspects of online examination. In the end I hope I’ll be able to create my own online examination because we need to create multiple choice tests later on.

This blog post is one part of the series “learning diary” for a course at my university. Goals: Besides the headline “Didaktical-methodological Design” an additional hint to a book was provided “Schulmeister, Ralf, Hypermedia Learning Systems”. Because of that I investigated a little bit about hyper media learning systems. For example what hyper media learning system means… Turns out, hyper media is a word creation from hypertext and media. It describes systems where media content is linked to to other media content (in contrast to hypertext, where foot notes, citations and text is linked together).

This blog post is one part of the series “learning diary” for a course at my university. Goal of this report is to take and rate a online learning unit.

Goals: Based on the topic of this weeks course and the provided information I assume we will learn how to specify the target group of a learning environment and possibly why it is important to define a target group.

This blog post is one part of the series “learning diary” for a course at my university. Goals: The goal of this week lesson was to learn what a learning objectives is and how to define learning goals for your self. I expect to get taught some methods to define the Objectives.

This blog post is one part of the series “learning diary” for a course at my university. Goals: As I started the course late (I couldn’t join the first course because of another overlapping exam) I had no goals set for this week. What have I learned: We started the course with the explanation for the last lessons course (which again, I missed). We had the task to remember five hand signs without context.

In this article I provide a glance about my learning environment. This includes my methods (or my behavior) and the tools I use to learn and gather knowledge. Methods I don’t have a “real” method for learning. Most of the time I rely on my memory to remember “yeah, I’ve heard/read about that and I have an idea how to find it again”. This works kind of good for me, as I’m living in a highly connected world and have the wisdom of the world at my fingertips.

As part of the course “Didaktics of Media” at the University of Applied Sciences Berlin all participants are oblieged to write a learning diary. The learning diary shall enable the students to discover how we learn best. As part of the learning diary we also have to write two articles about our learning environment. That is, all tools and behaviours we use to learn. The first article should contain the current situation of our learning environment, the second the situation at the end the course.
