The purpose of this report is to address some of the expectations that attend the idea of ‘building’ a virtual learning community, to show how they arise and assess how realistic they are. The underlying question is whether a virtual learning community is simply a context in which distributed individuals learn together, or whether it can play a role in helping a wider community to improve its own practices. This is the second in a series of reports produced for the National College for School Leadership by members of IET, aimed at exploring the concept of communities of practice and its relevance for the NCSL Networked Communities agenda. It is one in a series of reports produced for NCSL, providing overviews of the literature in two areas: communities of practice and teaching and learning online. The research has been funded by the National College for School Leadership, and the immediate purpose is to inform their development of networked communities. - Fernando S.

Portfolio started out as a tool for improving the assessment of students, but has evolved to be a pedagogical tool with many employments. This paper discusses digital portfolio as a tool for supporting learning in a digital environment for both students and teachers. The original idea of portfolio is expanded, and digital portfolio is discussed as a tool for enhancing communication and collaboration, and for sharing experiences and resources. It is suggested that a "shared portfolio" can support the construction of a "community of practice". Experiences with implementing a shared teacher portfolio for sharing educational material and experiences is discussed. - Fernando S.

"A growing number of academics are using web 2.0 tools such as blogs and wikis to share their findings, discuss new developments, and find new ways for collaborative research. How does this open and informal medium fit with traditional academic processes? Although there are still some significant hurdles to be overcome, as well as doubts, web 2.0 represents more than just a new technology. Its widespread use, including by academics, may offer solutions to many existing problems, as well as open up new prospects for communicating research. " - Fernando S.

It seems like teaching about games should be easy. After all, students enjoy engaging with course content and have extensive experience with videogames. However, games education can be surprisingly complex. This book explores ludoliteracy, or the question of what it means to understand games, by looking at the challenges and problems faced by students taking games-related classes. In response to these challenges, this book then describes how online learning environments can be used to support learning about games by helping students get more from their experiences with games, and helping students use what they know to establish deeper understanding. Based on the findings from a series of research studies, Ludoliteracy examines the broader implications for supporting games education. - Fernando S.

In the past, centralised technology departments had major influence over the choices of learning applications in higher education. With the emergence of freely available Web 2.0 and open access tools, instructors and designers have been given greater ability to customize e-learning. This paper examines the historical roots of the impacts of authority from centralised technology units to an emerging user-centric control over learning environment design in higher education. A case study is used to illustrate the potentials and pitfalls in this more decentralised configuration for both learning and organization. - Fernando S.

It is only by exploring their potential that universities can remain relevant to the society they are helping to shape." - Fernando S.

¿Puede enseñarse cirugía por Internet? A medida que el e-learning se impone como medio dominante para la educación del futuro, surge la discusión entre los académicos sobre si es factible enseñar totalmente a distancia y de forma virtual o es necesaria cierta interacción cara a cara con tutores y profesores. John C.Y. Leong, rector de la Universidad Abierta de Hong Kong, prefiere el mixto: "Con Internet la educación es más interactiva, pero también más aislada. Siempre será necesario hacer al menos las tutorías cara a cara - Fernando S.

"Rectores de centros de todo el mundo se reúnen en Barcelona para intercambiar experiencias sobre la evolución de la enseñanza no presencial MERCÈ MOLIST - Barcelona - 03/12/2009 Vota Resultado Sin interésPoco interesanteDe interésMuy interesanteImprescindible 59 votos Imprimir Enviar Siempre han sido el patito feo de la enseñanza en Europa y Estados Unidos, pero hoy las universidades a distancia empiezan a vivir una revolución que las hará pasar al primer plano. Aparte del rejuvenecimiento del concepto (el viejo "a distancia" se sustituye por "virtual" o "no presencial"), las razones para un futuro espléndido se encuentran en la mayor demanda de educación en las empresas, que obliga a estudiar en casa o en el trabajo, y la popularización de Internet." - Fernando S.
