Project AoW: Becoming a Wikipedian – Concept 1

I’m giving a lecture today about teaching with multimedia and hypermedia and I was thinking about looking up examples of such educational media on Wikipedia…

To my big surprise, I had to discover that “educational media” was not (and still is not) defined and explained on Wikipedia!

I do think that this concept needs to be included because 1) it is a concept that I encounter on anext to weekly basis, so it needs to be defined in any respectable encyclopedia and 2) it needs to be distinguished from the concept of educational technology (which has an entry in Wikipedia).

At a more personal level, I would love to able to send people over to Wikipedia when they ask me what I mean by educational media (or edmedia in short)…

Today I’ve again used the term “educational media” when writing up instructions for a learning activity and I really wanted the term to be defined on Wikipedia.

What do you think? Should I start an entry about it?

You could expand / use the page for “Educational Technology”…

@Kristina: hm, I somehow feel that EdTech is not the same concept as EdMedia 🙂 and that it would deserve an entry on its own…

I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Luxembourg in the field of learning and teaching sciences. My PhD thesis was in cognitive psychology, focusing on implicit learning processes. I have always been interested in the integration of ICT in education, especially the strategic use of technology in teaching. With the advent of the digital revolution, I became interested in exploring the socio-cultural changes in learning caused by the use of digital technologies.

My current research focuses on the subjective theories of learning held by teachers and how these influence their use of ICT in the classroom. I am particularly interested in identifying factors that enable or hinder the use of ICT in teaching, and how these factors can be addressed.

Throughout my career, I have worked extensively as a teacher trainer in the field of educational technologies. I have experience with various forms of active pedagogy approaches, including problem-based, project-based, and design-research approaches. My goal is to help teachers integrate technology into their teaching practice in a way that enhances student learning and engagement.
