Dino Karabeg's contribution to Workshop II

• There is a tremendous duplication of work and resources when everyone develops one's own course.

• Traditional learning resources may not reflect recent developments.

• Education must be made flexible (just for me, just on time).

• Our children are living in an exciting media world which is rapidly growing out of synch with traditional school education.

• We need to be sensitive to the values and habits we instill through education.

• Within the knowledge federation approach the learning resources can be produced only once and organized according to subject.

• We can stimulate active learning by having the students federate knowledge.

• We have developed an information design course where students learn in a flexible way, by federating the learning resources.

I propose:

• To develop a course based on knowledge gardening principles, where the learning resources will befederated, and where the students will learn in part by federating knowledge.
• To use an online version of Compendium to co-create the learning resources.
• To offer an accredited graduate level knowledge federation course once a year in IUC Dubrovnik.
• To explore the possibility of using video game techniques in education, as outlined in Christian Bull-Hansen's M.S. Thesis or as implemented by the Ivanhoe pedagogical environment.
