CIRTA-hebdo Vol.2 No 6. 4 Décembre 2008 MOT DU DIRECTEUR Chers membres CIRTA, Le temps des examens approche et chacun de nous doit être passablement occupé. Je voudrais tout de même prendre le temps de vous rappeler que mercredi prochain je serai à Québec pour rencontrer l’équipe Lavalloise et participer à la première rencontre de présentation des cellules institutionnelles. Rencontre virtuelle de la cellule Université Laval Réservez bien votre mercredi midi puisqu’à 12h30, vous pourrez participer à cette rencontre à partir de votre poste de travail via le site suivant : https://classevirtuelle.ulaval.ca/join_meeting.html?meetingId=1227022907103 Juste avant, à 11h00, je ferai une communication sur le CIRTA en 2008 et je discuterai avec les participants sur les possibles arrimages entre les chercheurs et les acteurs-terrain impliqués dans le développement, la mise en place, le soutien et de l’évaluation du recours aux technologies en éducation. Mise à jour du site Web et bourses Une opération de mise à jour des informations sur les membres est en cours et on vous invite à communiquer avec Chantal pour l’informer des nouveaux projets de recherche, nouvelles publications et des modifications à apporter à la liste de vos étudiants. Dans cette lancée, le Comité de Coordination a décidé d’accorder à deux personnes une bourse pour leur participation à l’avancement et à l’animation de notre réseau par l’entremise de notre site Web. Nous vous reviendrons à ce propos des bourses dans le prochain bulletin puisqu’il reste quelques détails à régler avant de pouvoir diffuser les noms des récipiendaires. Bonne semaine ! Jacques SOMMAIRE SITES WEB À VISITER 60 blogs en éducation APPELS À COMMUNICATION Extension to Submit Paper: InSITE 2009 CALL FOR PAPERS - IADIS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE MOBILE LEARNING 2009 APPELS À PUBLICATION FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS: Special Issue Journal of Educational Technology & Society OFFRES D’EMPLOIS Offre d’emploi : Instructional designer and Senior Instrutional Designer Offre d’emploi: Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs and Distance Learning SITES WEB À VISITER 60 blogs en éducation Thématique: The present post lists over sixty education blogs, an expansion and correction of earlier posts "Thirty-two Education Blogs" and "Over Fifty Education Blogs." I have also indicated a few general references to internet usage and blogging. But do blogs and blog lists contribute positively to the dissemination of useful information? Responding to "Thirty-two Education Blogs," Anita Pincas complained that few people have time to examine 32 blogs that keyword searches are not adequate for "finding just what we need," and that "semantic web developments may help." Problems in finding just what we need have recently been addressed by physicist Michael Nielsen, who argues that the internet offers us the first majo opportunity to create: (a) a collective *long-term* working memory such as the physics preprint arXiv <http://arxiv.org/> to replace the antiquated journal system, and (b) a collective *short-term* working memory for the rapid collaborative development of ideas. Are blogs and discussion lists harbingers of the latter?

Over the past three years Mobile and Social technologies have featured strongly in the Horizon Report series which examines emerging technologies likely to have an impact on teaching, learning. Mobile devices have progressed from an adoption projection of two to three years in 2006, to a much more imminent adoption prediction trajectory of a year or less in 2008. Whether earlier the educational value of mobile technologies was thought to be delivery of content to people’s devices, the emphasis now has clearing changed to focus on their capabilities that enable users creating and sharing content. Date de l’évènement: 26 au 28 février 2009 Lieu : Barcelone, Espagne Date de dépôt de propositions : 19 décembre 2008 Site Web: http://www.mlearning-conf.org/ APPELS À PUBLICATION FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS: Special Issue Journal of Educational Technology & Society Titre: Special Issue Journal of Educational Technology & Society - "Technology-Support for Self Organized Learners" Éditeurs: Marco Kalz & Rob Koper, Centre for Learning Sciences and Technologies (CELSTEC), Open University of the Netherlands Thématique: Self-organized learning covers ways of learning, which allow learners- in comparison to traditional educational scenarios- a major dimension of self-determination and self-regulation: self regulated learning is a self-initiated action that involves goal setting and regulating one's efforts to reach the goal. Nowadays this way of learning is increasingly supported by interactive learning environments, semantically enhanced content and social software (e.g. Wikis, Weblogs, ePortfolios, Social Bookmarks, Social networks like YouTube, FaceBook, Flickr). Self-organized learning is a pre-requisite in learning situations in which individuals have primary responsibility for the planning, the performance and evaluation of learning activities in order to develop their competences in certain areas.
