Microlearning at Innsbruck continues, day two. The day began with presentations on mobile content. Representatives from Nokia and T-Mobile described different projects, one for shared microcontent, the other for magazine push.
Next session: workshops on microknowledge and pedagogy. Excellent, with actual discussion breaking out, participants challenging presenters, cross-currents and digressions. Seb Fiedler made a passionate case for radical constructivism, as embodied/enabled by some social software tools and practices. Stephan Mosel described the intersection of blogging and adult learning as potentially autopoetic, emphasizing tools and practices in terms of viability and identity construction. Roger Fischer introduced his KAYWA project, which enables mobile phones to push content towards blogs, while also allowing blog reading (cf also Roger's blog).
The interwoven discussion touched on differences between business and academic culture (in terms of goals, time management, motivation). We briefly considered multiple device content composition and sharing as timeshifting.
Shot of the final panel, courtsy of Roger:
Good conversations with bright people from the African Virtual University.
