(334 characters) aseyfarth https://padlet.com/aseyfarth/un_tb/wish/2206159031 First you directly write down all reflections you have, e.g., after a lecture. After some time you may revise the text or add follow-up thoughts. 

If you like to submit the blink (e.g., to be stored in a library) you ask your peers to write a reflexion blink on your blink. Based on this feedback you can once more revise your blink.]]> 2022-05-31 14:24:28 UTC https://padlet.com/aseyfarth/un_tb/wish/2206159031 How do students describe the review-process?

To achieve this goal, all participants of the activity (e.g., lecture, seminar, open classroom) are invited to share their thoughts in a learning space, called Common Brain.

All participants of the learning process can document and comment their thoughts using Tiny Articles, inspired by the concept of blinks. 

With this approach, individual and group learning processes can be coupled and insights can be provided for future learning activities. ]]> 2022-05-31 14:33:57 UTC https://padlet.com/aseyfarth/un_tb/wish/2206172117 Teaching and Learning with Blinks aseyfarth https://padlet.com/aseyfarth/un_tb/wish/2206176347 1 June 2022 at 15:00 CET

(159 characters) aseyfarth https://padlet.com/aseyfarth/un_tb/wish/2206208093 Tiny Articles can be used to document the reflections of the participants in a classroom. They can also contain rules of how to apply them in a learning space.]]> 2022-05-31 15:00:37 UTC https://padlet.com/aseyfarth/un_tb/wish/2206208093 Collaborative construction of knowledge and ideas emhi https://padlet.com/aseyfarth/un_tb/wish/2206320915 eMHi_31may22 (603 characters)
Sharing short texts helps to reflect on effective learning and working strategies 

By creating and sharing short texts ("blinks") regarding academic lectures, a collection of main ideas is generated, which can be structured, annotated, modified, reviewed and discussed. Like in connectivistic learning systems [1], this creates an open and demand-oriented learning space that allows interaction between students and with lecturers. The collaborative construction of knowledge and ideas provides possibilities for the discussion of interconnected thinking, learning and working processes in mixed groups.

It ends when teachers interpret the evidence of their impact on students during the lesson(s) relative to their intended learning intentions and initial criteria for success – that is, when teachers review learning through the eyes of their students. What was the impact, with whom, about what, and how efficiently?“ (Hattie, 2012, S. 145).

Using interactive tools leads to co-creation of learning material
Using interactive tools like digital pinboard or etherpads, students step out of their role as recipients and create their own learning materials. They search for further information, modify it, and thus co-construct knowledge. By presenting opinions and attitudes in social software, the subjective perspective of learners is becoming more important [1]. Learning with Tiny Articles can thus lead to confrontation with different perspectives and viewpoints.

Currently the Tiny Articles are stored in off-the-shelf collaboration tools like Google Docs, Only Office or Padlet (like in this presentation.

A limitation of these tool are the missing capability to define executable rules for processing and systematically storing Tiny Articles. This would allow to systematically update the rules in order to improve the learning process.]]> 2022-06-01 01:13:43 UTC https://padlet.com/aseyfarth/un_tb/wish/2206814469 How to evaluate and improve the learning process? (778 characters) aseyfarth https://padlet.com/aseyfarth/un_tb/wish/2206829262 Key message: Blinks are tiny articles (like scientific publications) and establish a modeling system for text-based cooperative learning promoting best learning practices. (171 characters) 

Blink: Learning with blinks is following the state-of-the-art of scientific cooperation and learning with peer-reviewed papers. The “success” of a paper is usually measured by the number of citations and the ranking of the journal. Similarly, blinks could be collected in a blink journal (BJ) with a well defined process for accepting a blink for publication. Different BJs could compete with each other for attracting the best contributions. Users can create and submit blinks to BJ. Once the blink is accepted (depending on the BJ rules), other users can comment on published blinks (reflexion blinks RB), tag, vote for and connect blinks (CB, e.g. with categories) or write an essence blink on number of blinks (like a review paper). RBs and CBs are reviewed and approved before publication.

With this a learning space becomes the quality of a dynamic function with inputs, outputs, and execution timing (e.g., duration, trigger, enabling conditions).]]> 2022-06-01 01:58:47 UTC https://padlet.com/aseyfarth/un_tb/wish/2206853035 LAS lecture (556 characters) aseyfarth https://padlet.com/aseyfarth/un_tb/wish/2207032990 In this lecture series on working and learning strategies talks are given by different lecturers.
-> After each lecture, students write a Weekly Tiny Article with their reflections about the lecture. In the following tutorium, students read, comment and discuss the Tiny Articles of the others. Key insights and open questions are formulated in an Essence Tiny Article.
-> During the semester, each student is preparing an Examen Tiny Article with a self-posed research question, which will be presented in small student groups of 8 in the last lecture. ]]> 2022-06-01 05:41:39 UTC https://padlet.com/aseyfarth/un_tb/wish/2207032990 Cooperative Learning using Tiny Articles (304 characters) aseyfarth https://padlet.com/aseyfarth/un_tb/wish/2207053701 Here we have two coupled learning dynamics:

-> The Wiki-Projects created in the seminar will be provided as learning material for upcoming students in the lecture. ]]> 2022-06-01 06:08:12 UTC https://padlet.com/aseyfarth/un_tb/wish/2207053701 Corona Dialogues (550 characters) aseyfarth https://padlet.com/aseyfarth/un_tb/wish/2207059556 In the Corona Dialogues, people with different backgrounds and opinions met to discuss the current situation during the pandemic. Two people interviewed each other based on a selected number of topics or questions without evaluating the answers. The key insights are documented such that the interviewed person agrees with this. Then, all participants were asked to reflect on these opinions and summarize their insights in an Essence Tiny Article.
