Premises and objectives
What are the objectives of this course?
The main objective of this course is to expose the student to a vast
body of knowledge and competences on the different uses of ICT
(information and communication technologies) throughout the globe,
focusing especially on new learning methods based on the ubiquitous
worldwideweb. This is what we call web-learning. Much of the class
focuses on discussion based on readings assigned out of class.
Another objective of this course is to give students hands-on
experience with web 2.0 tools to cope with the complexity of the
cloud based, ubiquitous, new style of knowledge management; with
international practices of web-learning through web technology; with
a critical analysis of what our students are exposed to in their nomadic
usage of the Web.
Throughout the course of the week, we work on globally-based
projects that leverage the benefits of information and communication
technologies to positively affect many diverse learning community.

How will be achieved?

premises
How will be achieved?

In grasping experience some of us perceive new information
through experiencing the concrete, tangible, felt qualities of the
world, relying on our senses and immersing ourselves in concrete
reality. Others tend to perceive, grasp, or take hold of new
information through symbolic representation or abstract
conceptualization thinking about, analyzing, or systematically
planning, rather than using sensation as a guide. Similarly, in
transforming or processing experience some of us tend to carefully
watch others who are involved in the experience and reflect on
what happens, while others choose to jump right in and start doing
things. The watchers favor reflective observation, while the doers
favor active experimentation.


premises
How will be achieved?
Each dimension of the learning process presents us with a
choice. Since it is virtually impossible, for example, to
simultaneously drive a car (Concrete Experience) and analyze
a drivers manual about the cars functioning (Abstract
Conceptualization), we resolve the conflict by choosing.
Because of our hereditary equipment, our particular past life
experiences, and the demands of our present environment,
we develop a preferred way of choosing. We resolve the
conflict between concrete or abstract and between active or
reflective in some patterned, characteristic ways. We call
these patterned ways learning styles.
