We collected original learning needs by the Application form for our Workshop. We reviewed these learning needs and we found that they are intrinsically linked to the pattern groups that we suggested. So here is a list of learning needs grouped by pattern group:

What we would like everybody to do is to add their offerings (Resources) to help answer these questions. Please be very short and precise. (include your name or initials at the end of the paragraph you write)

In the end we came up with a proposal for Assignments

PedagocicalPatterns

• Questions (keyword = self-directing learning process):
• What is meant by teaching and learning in self-directing learning processes (didactics, self-concepts, relationship)? (Annette Leeb)
• What is the relationship between self-directing learning process and rolling planning? (HU:LP)
• Coming from the field of knowledge management/creation we can differentiate 3 forms of knowledge:
  1 explicit knowldge = information, data; knowledge is a thing, can be easily stored
  2 tacit knowledge, which is embodied in skills and human action = knowledge is a process and
  3 self-transcending knowledge (not yet embodied, which is brought into existence through an act of action/intuition or presencing, which taps into the origin of the knowledge creation process.
  I assume, that these different forms of knowledge (and learning) will require different patterns of knowledge/learning (Knut Berndorfer)

• My question is now: what are these patterns (problem/intentions, systemic forces, solutions), which relate to the different forms of knowledge, how groupware (eg video) can support these patterns and how we can say if learning is good and effective? (Knut Berndorfer)

• Resources:
• I can provide....
• General suggestion: In each problem it should be searched for analogy in industry/business in order to integrate the already proved knowledge elements: The rolling planning could be the analogy to the self-directing learning process. On the other hand, the 'decision making' can be seen as a frame for real using of learned knowledge. Good is a learning process, if the decision (based on it) is good... (HU:LP)
• I don't really understand Annette Leeb's question, but I can join in general discussion about being a self-directed Internet- enabled non-formal learner (for nearly ten years) and about helping other people to learn. (PM)
• I can bring into my background in knowledge management, especially about conversations that matter in the context of dialogue or world cafe (Knut berndorfer)

• Question (keyword: good-better-best):
• How can the ranking values of real learning processes be evaluated ? (HU:LP)

• Resources:
• Each measurement logic (especially tests) should be involved. There will be surely inconsistencies, but at first it is necessary to define leveling-rules given for benchmarking. (HU:LP)

UsePatterns (also Usage Patterns)

• Questions
• ...how we can best use it to enable inclusive new learning/knowledge-sharing/knowledge-creation, how/when it seems likely to be relevant to the groups/individuals I connect with. (Pamela Mc Lean)
• I want to be inspired by other people´s experience from net based learning.(Matz Lindberg)
• I am interested in applicability of that kind of learning techniques to elderly people I am also interested how efficient that kind of education might be (amount of information provided, percentage of information is forgotten) in comparison to traditional techniques.(Jakub Staniewicz)
• I would like to enhance my knowledge as far as the potential use of ICT and particularly the use of interactive video (Marina Kollatou)

• Resources:
• We in Gödöllő (HU) have a lot of special experiences on the field of net-based learning for 12 years. We are looking continuously for new approaches (of knowledge management): from: simply browsing, via: file-transfer, online testing, labyrinths, to: online expert systems and their development (always focused to decision making). (HU:LP)
• It would be possible to build a little simulator to interpret, what type of components of the learning environment (e.g. age, IT) what kind of impact has on the learning success. By the way: This kind of simulation is an answer to the question how we can identify good-better-best situations in learning processes... (HU:LP)
• We live in the age of 3D-experts: e.g. http://www.webstar.biz/ (HU:LP)

ProductionPatterns

• Questions
• How to create and promote better quality and free educational videos? (Abdullah Pekel)
• How to use technical skills in a distant learning, on-line video,.. (Tomas Chepaitis)

• Resources:

CapturingPatterns

• Questions
• I need to improve my skills in visual media technology and communication by internet, so that I can create links for villages, neighbourhoods and rural towns to communicate and learn from each other good practice in rural development. (Phil Turner)
• Between now and 5 January I am working on a STORY BOARD for a video that will be made in February to capture good practice in facilitating workshops for village and town communities. The subject matter is a commmunity-led spatial planning activity called Village Design Statements.
• I have created a VDS and now they get replaced with Village Action Plans.You can see more and a link to the plan here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Village_design_statement (Markus Petz)

• http://ecovastdiscussion.ning.com/forum/topics/character-assessment-of?xg_source=activity
• The client is Planning Aid, and funding for the video techniques / operators has been secured. I can bring the STORY BOARD and the supporting information (PDF format or PowerPoint? ) that are proposed to accompany the final video clips on a website accessible to communities. (Phil Turner)

MotivationPatterns

• Questions

how we can best use it to enable inclusive new learning/knowledge-sharing/knowledge-creation, how/when it seems likely to be relevant to the groups/individuals I connect with. (Pam Mc Lean)

Once again Steve has helped by linking us with other communities by using digital villages, this has wet my appetite to learn more and as always take a small devastated village and turn it into a self sufficient communitiy. (Barry Hunt)

How can new media be brought into a rural and regional context? Are there similiarities to an urban context (transfer of knowledge, methods, experience)?(Annette Leeb)

How can Video Streaming be more effective and still interesting enough for the learners? (Abdullah Pekel)

•Motivation to sustainable network communication and financial opportunities of stakeholders (Jarmila Husenicova)

•If it is possible to create draft of preferences of common needs as consider to “virtual university of the villages"(Jarmila Husenicova)

• Resources:

SupportPatterns

• Questions

And lastly show me the money! So that we can have a functioning network of funded places to use these tools. (Markus Petz)

What kind of process organization / management will be supportive of both, those who plan to initiate the projects locally, and those who are ment to take the role of the learners? (Annette Leeb)

. I am also very interested in economic efficiency of that kind of actions. (Jakub Staniewicz)

..learn working with funds, projects; (Chepaitis)

What content can be interesting for whom? (Annette Leeb)

...learning for and with disabled people. (Chepaitis)

ManagementAndSustainabilityPatterns

• Questions

Where are there successful examples and how can we access them like a living library. How does this contribute to the Lisbon Strategy in a concrete way? Where is the social economy here not just the financial one? (Markus Petz)

Markus - The European Commission is now consulting on a succoessor to the Lisbon Strategy, called EU 2020 Strategy.It says: "The digital economy also offers new opportunities for distance learning as part of a lifelong approach to learning and for forms of communication that are changing the world of work, shrinking distances and making long distance work a real possibility in an increasing number of jobs. " see http://ec.europa.eu/eu2020/ (Phil Turner)

And lastly show me the money! So that we can have a functioning network of funded places to use these tools. (Markus Petz)

• Resources:
• I can join in discussion about rural sustainability and group-learning/sharing good practice, which is inter-related with online information exchange, but I don't know how relevant it is to this workshop. PM
