    Learning in Activity: A Pedagogical Innovation in Higher Education
    (Common Ground Publishing Pty Ltd, 2007-01-01)
    Active, lifelong learning has advanced to a "buzz word," requiring highly motivated learners who are able to learn in a self-regulated manner, and to actively engage within a learning community utilizing new media. Facing this challenge, this paper focuses on pedagogy regarding both the learning process as well as the methodical and didactic creation of the social and cultural learning environment in the field of teacher education in the university context. As a consequence, a pedagogical framework will be outlined which serves - together with the initial research question/subquestions - as a starting point and a point of reference. This framework consists of three intertwined perspectives: individual learning process, media and social interaction, and sociocultural context. In order to develop an applicable pedagogical concept empirical exploration will be based on best-practice case study research. The paper briefly outlines some important preliminary findings of the first case study which I conducted in the field of teacher education at the University of Oldenburg, Germany in 2005.

    Learning in Activity in Higher Education
    ( 2006-12-01)
    Recent research in the science of learning emphasize the importance of active, lifelong learning that requires students to be active inventors, rather than passive recipients, of knowledge. Therefore, "Learning in Activity" refers to students who are able to be self-directed and to actively engage in a learning community utilizing new technologies. In this paper and presentation at the ICCE 2006, I show the pedagogical framework of the study, the research design, and first results of the exploration of educational practice based upon three ethnograpic case studies in Germany, U.S., and Switzerland

    Active, lifelong learning has advanced to a “buzz word,” requiring highly motivated learners who are able to learn in a self-regulated manner, and to actively engage within a learning community utilizing new media. Facing this challenge, the paper focuses on the pedagogic dimension regarding both the learning process as well as the methodical and didactic creation of the social and cultural learning environment in the field of teacher education in the university context. As a consequence, a pedagogical framework will be outlined which serves together with the initial research question/subquestions - as a starting point and a point of reference. In order to develop an applicable pedagogical concept empirical exploration will be based upon three best-practice case studies in Germany, Switzerland, and the U.S. The paper outlines some preliminary findings of the first case study conducted in the field of teacher education in Germany in 2005.

    In the age of telecommunications and multimedia, university teaching and learning occurs more and more in technology-enhanced environments. Scanning the current research landscape it is clear that the development of innovative pedagogies lags behind the progression of new technologies. In this context, the authors investigate educational practices by analyzing two classes of a videotaped course conducted in one of the high performance classrooms at Stanford University to explore new ways of teaching and learning utilizing state-of-the-art technology. The study shows how technology-enhanced learning environments can be utilized to facilitate learning in activity. Moreover, implications for the implementation and application of innovative technology-enhanced pedagogies in higher education will be outlined. A project description as well as major results of the joint study are published on the SCIL homepage at http://wallenberg.stanford.edu/research/findings/HoidnGilbert_WhitePaper.pdf The results were also published at https://www.openeducationeuropa.eu/en/article/Teaching-and-Learning-in-Wallenberg-Hall%E2%80%99s-Experimental-Classrooms#main-content on May 16th, 2007
