SCOOP workshop at the Jacobs University in August 2007

Dear JEM members,

I would like to invite to participate in a JEM workshop on "identifying and supporting scientific communities (of practice) in educational scenarios" at the Jacobs university this summer (most likely in august).

I highly appreciate your feedback on the topic as well as the organization (date, submission) of the workshop. Please post your comments, recommendations in terms of the topics of the workshop as well as dates and submissions. I also appreciate any volunteers for reviewing.

I am looking forward to hearing from you,
Christine

To sum up, the workshop was

To sum up, the workshop was a big success. I believe that everybody was able to take something for his individual research from the workshop, we had long discussion, particularly during the dinner. I also believe that many participants are keen on keeping the discussion going. I have already requested a mailing list and we will find some other online discussion platform to gather information and comments and to get more people involved in the subject.

I'd like to thank JEM for the great opportunity of arranging this workshop. We had great talks and received extremely valuable feedback and ideas. I am very keen on keeping it going and would appreciate if JEM would support it further.

Christine

Many thanks for the

Many thanks for the organization and the exciting workshop program - I found it really refreshing for my own research.
Hopefully, we will make a "SCOOP 2.0" in 2008...

Christine, many congrats.

Christine,

many congrats. Signups are re-enabled for all participants to record their attendance. I also created a new SIG forum for SCOOP. Please keep your discussions in the forum and subscribe to it if you want to be emailed (as in an old-fashioned mailing list).

 

I look forward to your new activities.

The workshops name is SCOOP

I am happy to announce that

I am happy to announce that we will enjoy a second invited talk during the workshop.

In addition to Ralf Klamma's talk on "Social Software and Community Information Systems", Toby White will give us insight in "Scispace - An Experiment in Social-Software-Mediated Collaborative Scientific Research".

I had to adapt the agenda and hope that will not course any
inconvenience. Please find the new agenda as well as the abstract of Toby White's talk at the JEM website.

What kind of communities

The focus of the workshop is on bringing together research on scientific communities, in particular, in mathematics in an educational scope. This addresses online, virtual communities as well as communities of practices and interest.

Please note that when speaking of an educational scope or learning scenario I do not aim at restricting the workshop to eLearning applications in university, school, and companies but also encourage you to talk about approaches that support the life-long-learning as well as the commonly creation and acceptance of knowledge in science.

Date of the workshop

Hi there,
the workshop proposal looks quite interesting! I would like to submit a paper on "knowledge wikis" that enable collaborative knowledge management with communities.
Also, we have some preliminary work on analyzing posts of bulletin boards with respect to emotional aspects. Might be also interesting.

About the date: I would prefer the very last weak of august; what's about Aug. 30 or aug. 31?

Best wishes,
Joachim Baumeister

Scheduling the workshop

The 30th would work good for us too.
I am looking forward to seeing you there and learning about your wikis.

Naming the workshop

How about?

KWARCWas: Identifying and support (mathematical) communities in education

It is not clear to me what

It is not clear to me what kind of acronym KWARCWas is. Can you explain? Thanks-

KWARC Was

It is not an acronym. The name originates from an activity we where planning at KWARC, namely, to schedule a day or weekend on which the whole group would meet and discuss KWARC issues in detail.

If you'd say "Kwarc Was" to a German, he would most likely understand "tell me something", "speak up".

But I changed the name in the event again, since this might be confusing. It might be better to just to refer to a JEM Workshop at Jacobs instead.

Sorry :0)

I think the acronym should

I think the acronym should tell what the workshop or seminar is about.

  • SMAC - supporting mathematics activities in (online) communities _it is not quite precise enough_
  • mocop- maths online community of practice (~mockup)

and so on.

ps. isn't KWARC a fresh cheese?

I like your suggestions. By

I like your suggestions. By the way is this the third JEM workhshop?

And yes, KWARC sounds like a kind of (curt) cheese, but in German it is spelled "QUARK".

Workshop or Seminar

This would not be the Third Workshop - rather we could call it JEM seminar - so it is not confused with the series of JEM Workshops.
The 3rd JEM Workshop will take place in Barcelona, possibly end of January.

JEm Seminar

Okay. That's sound reasonable, although I already announced it as JEM Workshop at quite some mailing lists now. Will that be a problem?
