2. Premises and objectivesWhat are the objectives of thiscourse?The main objective of this course is to expose the student to a vast body of knowledge and competences on the different uses of ICT (information and communication technologies) throughout the globe, focusing especially on new learning methods based on the ubiquitousworldwideweb. This is what we call web-learning. Much of the class focuses on discussion based on readings assigned out of class.Another objective of this course is to give students hands-on experience with web 2.0 tools to cope with the complexity of the cloud based, ubiquitous, new style of knowledge management; with international practices of web-learning through web technology; with a critical analysis of what our students are exposed to in their nomadic usage of the Web. Throughout the course of the week, we work on globally-based projects that leverage the benefits of information and communication technologies to positively affect many diverse learning community.

4. premisesHow will be achieved?In grasping experience some of us perceive new information through experiencing the concrete, tangible, felt qualities of the world, relying on our senses and immersing ourselves in concrete reality. Others tend to perceive, grasp, or take hold of new information through symbolic representation or abstract conceptualization – thinking about, analyzing, or systematically planning, rather than using sensation as a guide. Similarly, in transforming or processing experience some of us tend to carefully watch others who are involved in the experience and reflect on what happens, while others choose to jump right in and start doing things. The watchers favor reflective observation, while the doers favor active experimentation.

5. premisesHow will be achieved?Each dimension of the learning process presents us with a choice. Since it is virtually impossible, for example, to simultaneously drive a car (Concrete Experience) and analyze a driver’s manual about the car’s functioning (Abstract Conceptualization), we resolve the conflict by choosing. Because of our hereditary equipment, our particular past life experiences, and the demands of our present environment, we develop a preferred way of choosing. We resolve the conflict between concrete or abstract and between active or reflective in some patterned, characteristic ways. We call these patterned ways “learning styles.”Kolb, D. A.
