E-Learning and Knowledge Sharing Community Home

Welcome to the E-Learning and Knowledge-Sharing (ELKS) Community, led by the Beyond Distance Research Alliance at the University of Leicester, UK.

ELKS is affiliated with the United Nations' Global Alliance for ICT and Development (UN-GAID)

Seminar on the 20th January 2010 Please click on the link below to view a recording of the seminar: https://connect.le.ac.uk/p31413739/ Title of the seminar: Impact of Online language on distance teaching and learning. An analysis carried out at Roma Tre University, Italy. Speaker: Dr Antonella Poce, Researcher, Department of Educational Design, Università Roma Tre, Italy. Introduction to the seminar: In this seminar I will analyse the role of language within online learning communities. As Wenger (1998, p. 52) states, there is a community of learners where a group of people share the same interests, and according to those common interests, engage in shared actions. The function of language is fundamental within the process of 'negotiation of meaning' that happens in the community. If language, and situated use of language in particular, is important in any community, it becomes essential in an online learning community, both to create a common repertoire and to produce knowledge. About Antonella: Dr Antonella Poce became a full time researcher in experimental pedagogy at the University Roma Tre – Department for Educational Design in December 2008. After concluding the PhD in Innovation and evaluation of educational system, she obtained a post-doc scholarship for carrying out research on the evaluation of e-learning models in university didactics. Her research interests concern the evaluation of innovative didactic practices in university education at national and European level. On the same topic, she has participated in several national and international research projects. She was awarded by Aea-Europe for her research activities. She is a member of the Aea Europe subcommittee for Professional Development.

About ELKS

ELKS shares resources and expertise via online forums about using technology in learning.

ELKS activities involve:

analysing existing and on-going research, programmes and practices in e-learning and distance learning, to identify best practice and developing guidelines, standards or templates for dissemination
sharing knowledge and findings of research studies on cutting-edge, new or emergent issues in higher education
identifying technological or organizational transformational solutions in order to overcome barriers to development using Information and Communication Technologies in the higher education sector
actively seeking opportunities for, and facilitating, multi-stakeholder partnerships and resource sharing in research into e-learning and distance learning education.

ELKS members take part in and host discussions, seminars and courses, entirely online, to exchange and inform one another in areas of expertise in the research and practice of e-learning. Online events are focused for maximum benefit from minimum investment of time.

ELKS invites institutions and individuals to become members and help staff and students around the world better to understand and use technologies to support learning.
