I just got home from a trip down to Augsburg University where I presented some initial ideas for my dissertation project to my supervisor and a group of PhD students. In my project I want to bring together my long-term interest in self-organized learning and its (technologcial) support and my recent work on personal Webpublishing.
I really enjoyed the rather informal atmosphere during the session. The folks of the chair of "media pedagogy" turned out to be pretty open and articulate. In fact, we had more of a conversation going than a typical presentation in broadcasting mode.
It was interesting to observe how people reacted to the concept of personal Webpublishing and Weblogging. Some apparently struggled to draw the necessary distinctions between Weblogs and other forms of online communication and publication.
One PhD student approached me during a break and said:"... you know what? I think I didn't get what you where talking about for quite some time because I looked at this always from the consumer site".
Bingo. Welcome back to the two-way-Web! [Sebastian Fiedler]
