Wie digitaler Microcontent die Umwelt verändert, in der wir arbeiten, lernen und leben
Game-based VideoOnline Conference, September 17, 2008

“Das sind zwei völlig verschiedene Welten –
auf der einen Seite das moderne Zuhause,
eine Umwelt geprägt von integrierter elektronischer Information – und auf
der anderen Seite Klassenzimmer und Büros.”
(2008 ist die Kluft größer als jemals zuvor –
und sie wächst weiter!)
Marshall McLuhan (1967):

„Das ideale Klassenzimmer“
Solche Umwelten spiegeln das Selbstbild von Organisationen: effektiv, produktiv, hochkonzentriert, SAP-zertifiziert.

So würde der passende „ideale Arbeitsplatz“ dazu aussehen – vor dem Web (aber da stehen die meisten Organisationen immer noch).

So stellt man sich digitales Lernen und Informations-Vermittlung dazu vor.

Small Pieces Loosely Joined
“[The Web is ] a collection of ideas, none longer than can fit on a single screen.
… small nuggets pointing to more small nuggets.”

Das führt zu dramatischen Veränderungen in der Semiosphäre.
„Semiosphere“: a term coined by Jurij M. Lotman, referring to „Biosphere“.

Das hat Folgen für unser alltägliches Leben!
(Somehow more than just a metaphoric illustration – since the 1980s, Al Gore has actually been both
a prophet of Global Warming and an evangelist of the Internet.)

„… all kinds of information chunks in our digital life take on the form of
digital lifestreams …

“Microcontent is information published in short form,with its length dictated by the constraint of a single main topic
and by the physical and technical limitations of the software and devices that we use to view digital content today. “

The evolution of microcontent is a complex feedback phenomenon –
it can not be reduced neither to software nor to humans
(Microcontent is about circulation, not just transmission.Standards have to be built for enabling feedback and
emergence.)

But for now e-Learning primarily is formatted neither for humansnor for the Web, but for macro-organizations & -institutions.
appropriate format for organizationsFormatted to stabilize macro-organizational frameworks:
- macro-organizational training (formal, top-down)- macro-organizational calculation of costs- macro-organizational management control

If we want to designnext-generation eLearning & Information Management,
we have to understand & bear in mind the nature of microcontent-based information work.

“Did you hear?
e-Learning is Dead.
That's right... dead. Shot down in the prime of its life.
Six feet under. Kaput.“
Jay Cross (2003)
![Page 50: Microcontent_Evideo2008](https://reader036.vdokument.com/reader036/viewer/2022070302/54796a76b47959a9098b4768/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Jay Cross had coined the term„e-learning“ in 1998,
fascinated by the possible impactof the Internet on
human-centered learning.
He got frustrated when the term was misused in the following years,When it became just a new buzzword label for „Computer-based Online Training“
& the transfer of courses & classrooms into virtual „Learning Management Systems“.
![Page 51: Microcontent_Evideo2008](https://reader036.vdokument.com/reader036/viewer/2022070302/54796a76b47959a9098b4768/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Jay Cross now prefers to speak of „Informal Learning“.
(But the concept has close connections to Stephen Downes‘ „e-Learning 2.0“-meme.)
