| Microlearning2007 | PRINT | | Conference on Microcontents |
Innsbruck (AU), May 2007 – The Microlearning2007 conference will take place in Innsbruck, Austria from 21-22 June 2007. The term "microlearning" defines new forms of learning emerging in the microcontent-based digital media environments. The goal of this year's Microlearning conference is to inquire about the consequences of these developments for individual and organizational knowledge.
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. Microcontent is the kind of (very) small pieces (quite) loosely joined that have emerged in the last five years on the Web as well as in the mobile/cellular sphere.
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?
During the Microlearning2007, four thematic focal points will be approached from the micro-perspective:
- Mobile Web 2.0: Possible uses for education, knowledge, and information
- Micro-environments: Transformations of knowledge through digital microcontent and Web 2.0 micromedia
- Classroom without Walls: The impact of micromedia and micolearning on courses, learners, and teachers
- Corporate (Micro-)Learning for the "Information Workplace 2.0": How learning, training, and knowledge acquisition will change.
The conference will start with a pre-conference workshop on 20 June 2007. This workshop is free for Microlearning2007 participants.
