http://tecfa.unige.ch/staf/staf-k/borer/Memoire/memoirekurz.htm Mireille Betrancourt Incidental learning or learning 'en passant' is seen by some authors as the most important yet considerably neglected form of learning. In my quasi-experimental study I analysed the effect of interactivity (maximum versus minimum interactivity) and of group setting (pairs versus individual learners) on learning of explicit content and implicit details from a series of nine animations on the topics of Diffusion and Osmosis. http://intra.ksstadelhofen.ch Daniel Peraya Conceptualisation of a Learning platform (moodle) in the context of blended learning The project 'Intranet Kantonsschule Stadelhofen' arose from a seminar on e-learning platforms. Initially, the aim was to conceptualize a structure for a e-learning platform which could be used in the context of blended learning at a secondary school (Kantonsschule). Since at this time our school was looking for an extranet platform I further developed concepts to integrate the e-learning platform as to administration, technique and layout into a larger environment. The project 'Intranet Kantonsschule Stadelhofen' wich arose from these works led to an extranet primarily based on open source software and comprising several modules: e-learning platform (moodle), booking system (mrbs), mail/webmail (squirrelmail), administrative informations (Information manager - based on php-mySQL) - all held together by LDAP-authentification. The project was generously funded by the Kanton Zurich. http://tecfa.unige.ch/staf/staf-k/borer/staf14/ex4/Diashow/Bluetenbio.html Daniel Schneider HTML-Javascript These pages - programmed in HTML/Javascript show a little bit from where I came to TECFA. The idea behind the material is its use in a blended learning context. It also can be used for presentation during presential lessons. http://tecfa.unige.ch/staf/staf-k/borer/Staf16/Modulesang/Modulesang.a7r Christian Depover Authorware/Flash While the main framework of this learning unit was programmed in Authorware, most of the integrated animations were done in Flash. The pedagogical approach of the material can be described as 'instructional design' with a cognistivistic point of view. http://tecfa.unige.ch/staf/staf-k/borer/Staf12/Sitestaf12revisted.ppt Charline Poirier User centered conceptualisation of an exploratory site Educational material on cell division was conceptualised with a user centered approach. Interviews with users (students) led to the creation of a metaphor for the site and of several 'personas' - typical users. Based on this information the content of the site was structured and arranged. This architecture was evaluated with further interviews of users and then adapted according to the results. The site was not programmed. http://tecfa.unige.ch/staf/staf-k/borer/Staf13/Icones/icones.html Daniel Peraya All animations and webpages need icons for navigation. But how to create good ones? In this work a set of icons were created for use in the exploratory site on Cell division (see further up). Usability and semiotic efficiency were tested by the aid of the Iconometer. http://tecfaseed.unige.ch/staf18/modules/ePBL/uploads/proj3/paper81.xml Daniel Peraya In a synoptic review pedagogical approaches behind exsisting e-learning standards are compared with actual pedagogical standards in secondary level teaching. On this background the usefulness of learning objects for the use in blended learning is discussed and evaluated. http://tecfa.unige.ch/staf/staf-k/borer/Staf12/Contenu.ppt Charline Poirier Analysis of several 'edu-sites' as to their usability Monica Kuffer A series of educational sites (www.biology.com, www.explorescience.com, www.biologylab.awlonline.com, www.schule.de, www.zum.de, www.educeth.ch , www.educa.ch) and the e-lerning platform educanet were analysed as to their usability according to a set of criteria. http://tecfa.unige.ch/staf/staf-k/borer/stic3/ex3/dbmultimedia.php Daniel Schneider The prototype of a multimedia database was created, which is based on XML, php and partly on Javascript. The database has basic search, add, delete fonctionality and works without the need of an XML- or mySQL database. http://tecfa.unige.ch/staf/staf-k/borer/stic3/ex2/elemonarc3.php Daniel Schneider According to the number of words different rss-feeds are visualized in SVG as circles with different radius. http://tecfa.unige.ch/staf/staf-k/borer/stic3/ex1/xmlstatsform4.php Daniel Schneider The created pages allow a (very limited) statistical analysis of XML files as to the frequence of specific words. http://tecfa.unige.ch/staf/staf-k/borer/stic3/ex5/welcome.html Daniel Schneider Simple script for the X_query analysis of a geografical XML-Database.
