The #EduCamp 2009 has provided me with an a lot more specific view on the educational technologies in Web2.0 times. In this post, I want to try to define some important terms from the Web2.0 Learning world.
Micro blogging is the process of providing on a personal profile a size-wise limited statement, common example Twitter.
Micro tagging is attaching pieces of meta information to small pieces of information. For instance, highlighting a text selection or relating a part of a picture to a person is creating a micro tag.
Micro learning is the process of solving a very specific problem using very specific sources of knowledge. Assume you're used to the C programming language and now just want to open a file using Java. In this situation, looking for a line of code that just serves for opening a file would be a process of micro learning.
How does Mediabird relate to the suggested definitions?
Due to the limitation in size, refering to note sheet as the source for explanation when solving a problem can be considered an example of micro learning.
The idea of micro tagging is implemented with the text marker that allows the user to attach tags such as problems, questions or definitions to a part of their notes (i.e. selection).
