Workshop "Academia 2.0 and beyond? How Social Software changes research and education in academia" Workshop at the European Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work, http://www.ecscw09.org in Vienna (Austria) , September 8, 2009
Organizers:
Michael Koch, Bundeswehr University Munich, michael.koch@unibw.de
Isa Jahnke, Technische Universität Dortmund, isa.jahnke@tu-dortmund.de
The Web 2.0 and Social Software is often attributed with a high potential for addressing today’s challenges in knowledge management and distributed collaboration. This development has already reached industry. Using the term Enterprise 2.0, different possibilities to use Social Software in enterprises are researched. But also in academia, cooperation to generate new knowledge, and to add it to the scientific discourse may radically change under open Web 2.0 conditions. In addition, teaching and learning scenarios might be moved towards technology enhanced lifelong learning communities. The aim of this workshop is to discuss the application of Social Software in academia (research as well as teaching and learning) – and how these new kinds of software might change the whole setting – make new ways of doing research or teaching and learning possible or at least easier to do.

A new project: PETEX - Plattform for eLearning and Telemetric ExperimentationThe European project PETEX, started in Dec 2008 (for 2 years), will create an innovative eLearning environment that combines telemetric, live experimentation, a multi-perspective, self-directed learning and community communication. Within a concept of a life-long-learning community of engineering, the technology enhanced learning process focuses on forming, cutting and welding (part of Production Engineering). The HDZ develop training modules and facilitating them with Internet based real experiments on material testing. Such telemetric experiments will be realized through a video supported online access into the real laboratory – so that each learner from all over the world can experiment (observation, measurement and transmission of data) with real forming technologies.

Dec 2008 Notifications - extended Deadline - IJWBC, Sepcial Issue NEW Deadline for notifications (accepted / rejected papers): Dec 8, 2008
International Journal of Web Based Communities (IJWBC), Special Issue on: "Web 2.0 Goes Academia: Innovative Scenarios for Socio-technical Communities" - Guest Editor: Isa Jahnke.
Web 2.0 is - as O'Reilly (2005) said - a "second generation of Internet-based services". The common idea is to enable people to collaborate and share information online in new ways, such as in wikis, communication tools, social networking applications, and social tagging. Figure 1 confronts the two concepts and lists examples from Web 2.0 usage in academia: Figure. Web 2.0 and Social Software focus on new or existing software systems which are influenced by human communication and collaboration, or, to put it another way, Web 2.0 is heavily reliant on social interaction, and so social web-based applications generate and require a human-centred design approach.
