Trends in E-Learning
Media Informatics Advanced Seminar, Summer Term 2008 (bib)

This report provides an overview of current applications and research trends in the field of e-learning. There are various technologies that can be used to support learning. They range from web-based training (WBT) to tangible e-learning, mobile learning, virtual and mixed realities, and more.
During the summer term 2008, students from the Computer Science Department at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich did research on specific topics related to e-learning and analyzed various publications. This report comprises a selection of papers that resulted from the seminar.
Each chapter presents a survey of current trends, developments, and research with regard to a specific topic. Although the students' background is computer science, their work includes interdisciplinary viewpoints such as theories, methods, and findings from educational and psychological sciences. Therefore, the report is targeted at anyone who is interested in the various facets of e-learning.
In addition to this report, there are slides from the students' talks available at http://www.medien.ifi.lmu.de/lehre/ss08/hs/ .
