Visual Knowledge Building
Definition
Knowledge building refers to the process of creating new cognitive artifacts as a result of common goals, group discussions, and synthesis of ideas. These pursuits should advance the current understanding of individuals within a group, at a level beyond their initial level of knowledge, and should be directed towards advancing the understanding of what is known about that topic or idea.Knowledge building community’s
- Classroom
- Academic research teams
- Modern management companies
- Modern buisiness R&D groups
Three metaphors of learning:
Knowledge acquisition
Learning is an individual cognitive process
Participation
Learning is a socio-cultural process
Learning is a socio-cultural process
Knowlegde creation Learning is a socia-cultural process with a intention to produce artefacts (something made or givin shape by man such a tool or a work of art, esp an object of archaeological interest)
Connectivism
The connections that enable us to learn more, are more important than our current stat of knowing.
To illustrate connectivism I want to show you a video on You Tube. In this video you can see how many connections you can make with this gadget.
Connectivism
E-learning It’s a term used to refer to computer enhanced learning. It is defined as the use of multimedia technologies and the internet to improve the quality of learning.
Blended learning
· Live face-to-face learning
· Live e-learning classes
· Web learning modules
These are multiple approaches to learning
Digital immigrants en digital natives
The digital natives grew up with the D-(digital)gen and spent their entire lives surrounded by and using computer, videogames, digital music playes, video cams etc. The digital immigrants were not born in the digital area. They have an very different way of thinking. It’s hard for them to understand the speed of the digital area. They doesn’t learn it as quick as the digital natives and will never be the same as the digital natives.
Marc Prensky
He is the one who brought the terms digital natives and digital immigrant into the world of visual knowlegde building. He analyses the difference between learning styles of digital natives and immigrants. For example the digital immigrants are using the learning style of the natives not completely. If the immigrants send an e-mail to someone and they will get an e-mail back they print it al out and put them in a folder. Why would they print it out? They have a search tool in their e-mail, they can find in their e-mail box a lot faster than in a folder. That is the standard thing for the digital immigrants. They also can send an e-mail and give that person after sending a call with the message: 'Did you get my e-mail?'.

Visual (e)Pedadogy
Prof. Sonvilla- Weiss, the head of master ePedagogy Design/ VKB discribed the meaning of visual (e)Pedagogy as a learning process involving different senses, looking, touching and speaking, connecting object and image with language and vice versa.
Jan Amos Comenius was the first person who used pictures in textbooks.
His pedagogic philosopy was: He tented to think in big pictures and believed that much of life's learning should be woven together, a concept he called Via Lucis, or way of light.
Constructivsm
This is a learning theory that argues about humans construct meaning from current knowlegde structures.
The constructivist theory by Jean Piaget, articulated mechanisms by which knowledge is internalized by learners. Through processes of accommodation and assimilation, individuals construct new knowledge from their experiences.
The difference between assimilation and accomodation has to do with making a different framework for different culture. Like Queensday, Thanksgiving, having diner at 6 or at 8.
You have to reframing the process.
Social constructivism

Views each learner as:
- a unique individual, backgrounds, need
- complex and multidimensional
- active learners, learning by doing
