Following what was asked by Prof. Morten in Unit 4-Activ 2, we produced these two small videos to explain how we did the video about "Transparency in Cooperative Learning". It's the first of a small group (read the posts with the same tittle as this entry), all related to the master Elearning Pedagogy, developed in http://www.univ-ab.pt/.
I hope these nice avatars help you to understand how we solve the problems with our modest capacity and achieved the learning goals. They're not, each one, giving their own opinion. The aim is rather showing the steps that we took in group.
I decided to create different entries to talk about several activities developed throughout this semester to facilitate your viewing. But if you prefer to read the text, please let me know.

Final report: improving the learning object
Following what was asked by Prof. Morten in Unit 4-Activ 2, we produced these three small videos to explain our difficulties in doing the newspaper "Teaching Online Techniques" (LO of Unit2 Activ2).
To avoid being too obvious, we decided to show a little creativity this time. Instead of writing a text, we have here the help of several nice avatars to explain our second work in this master semester about the interesting issue Teaching Online Techniques (http://www.univ-ab.pt/ ).
Altough you see here three different tellers as representatives of the group, the clarification should be understood as only one (text divided into shares). This means that nobody is giving his own opinion. The aim is rather showing the steps that were taken in group.
If you prefer to read the full text, please let me know. I'll be pleased to send you by email.

Final report: improving the learning object
Following what was asked by Prof. Morten in Unit 4-Activ 2, we produced these three small videos to explain our difficulties in doing the video "Online Education: transparency and visibility" (LO of Unit3 Activ2).
As we did together more than one learning object, we decided to be a little ambitious on this last one (see video cited above). Maybe being better prepared to understand the new theories about online education, we could create a more complete video. Our main thought was to show how the analyzed theory could be tested, and we believe that this video was able to demonstrate it.
This video doesn't present any theory this time, because you can find elsewhere in this blog some annotated bibliography about interesting concepts studied in the course Elearning Pedagogy (http://www.univ-ab.pt/). Anyway, this video is a complement to those important papers.
Now about the following avatars...

Práticas educativas no Second Life: our very best
Juntamente com a Telma Jesus (avatar: Telma Mildor), criei este vídeo para mostrar vários momentos relacionados com a construção de uma exposição no Seconde Life, no âmbito duma actividade da u.c. Ambientes Virtuais de Aprendizagem (mestrado Pedagogia do Elearning'03 - UAb).
Penso que o resultado foi muito razoável e que atingimos os objectivos propostos pela professora.
Agora, aguardo por novas aventuras no Second Life.
Espero que apreciem este vídeo e que deixem os vossos comentários, sugestões... :-)

Práticas educativas no Second Life
Juntamente com a Telma Jesus, concluí com êxito a apresentação do nosso trabalho sobre as práticas educacionais no SL, neste caso, a organização de uma exposição.
O tema desenvolvido foi "a segurança educativa da Internet", tendo sido criado um cenário específico. Utilizamos alguns recursos que se mostraram muito úteis e enriquecedores para esta actividade e foram também criados alguns materiais.

Pedagogicamente, foi muito satisfatório o uso do Presenter para explicar à professora e aos colegas as fases do nosso trabalho; do notecard com o texto do Guião desta apresentação no Congresso; dos scripts para dar movimento e animação aos objectos ou a ligação a uma webpage; dos vários painéis criados a partir do objecto denominado "cubo", onde foram expostas as imagens antes compostas no Windows.
Penso que o blogue da turma X no servidor Blogger, onde seriam prestadas novas informações sobre a exposição ou para receber sugestões e comentários dos visitantes, é uma forma de criar interactividade entre os organizadores de uma exposição online e os seus visitantes. 
Finalmente, considero ser reconfortante e motivador saber que a audiência presente ficou satisfeita com a exposição e se mostrou entusiasmada por visitar nesse dia a exposição. Para mim, foi importante receber na altura este feedback muito positivo. Deste modo, é fácil estar motivado para continuar ou melhorar este tipo de actividades.

Foi também agradável perceber que a explicitação da exposição preparada por mim e a Telma foi compreendida por todos.
Esta actividade permitiu desenvolver muitas competências que se espera existerem num tutor de ensino online.

Review of annotated bibliography
I’d like to comment the annotated bibliography that Mónica Filipa posted on her blog.
We may find there several interesting entries about transparency in Cooperative Online Education, including learning objects. This reveals that the author had done an extensive research and was concerned to explain thoroughly this theory, showing how the researchers are dealing with the problems and how they overcame them. The papers suggested are a serious contribution to understand the theory's principal concepts, because they often present illustrative study cases.
Most of the time, Mónica shows a critical spirit, developing her own interpretation about the material and resources she had read, trying to show us the most important aspects (cooperation, visibility, transparency in online education) and how/where they should be improved. (See here an example).
The posts are well organized (sometimes, the sentences have a different color), with the main ideas gathered in a logical way, i.e., we learn what are the problems studied and the solutions defended. The citations are efficiently contextualized with the text. The author’s name and paper’s title are graphically identified, whose online access is permitted through the link.
However, the habitual references aren't visible and the author forgot to indicate when she had retrieved the materials.
As a suggestion, I think it would be easier to the viewer if the posts had different titles. Since Mónica had decided to create several posts, I believe the blog would benefit, for example, from the specialized research done on Internet by interested users.
