Online media art learning modules

6 February 2003, Fraunhofer- IuK office, Berlin

Objective

So far hardly any practical learning offers connected with developing works of media art are available on the Internet. The teaching of media art seems to be too bound up in individual competencies and concepts for any kind of standard knowledge to emerge that could be taken as a general basis for such teaching.
However, in recent years various initiatives and projects have explored concepts aimed at discovering how school pupils and college students might be introduced to practical artistic work with new media.
The objective of the workshop was to establish to what extent the experience gained during these initiatives and projects could be applied to an online learning offer relating to media-artistic education on the netzspannung.org platform.
The results of the following projects were presented:
¬ [link 01] Künste.Medien.Bildung, Gerda Sieben
¬ [link 02] Visuelle Kompetenz im Medienzeitalter, Prof. Dr. Hans Dieter Huber
¬ [link 03] ArtDeCom, Prof. Dr. Michael Herczeg
¬ [link 04] Code.Kit, Prof. Dr. Georg Trogemann
¬ [link 05] Anticipation, Prof. Torsten Stapelkamp
¬ [link 06] Medien Kunst Netz, Rudolf Frieling und Prof. Dr. Dieter Daniels

Results

In the view of the experts, online learning in the field of media-cultural education must be linked with real actual "classroom" teaching. In the light of current knowledge, purely "virtual" concepts seem less sensible. After all, it should not be forgotten that social locations, communication and pedagogical support are important especially for acquiring media-artistic content. The potential of combining online and actual "classroom" teaching in different ways remains to be gauged. Another factor that needs to be taken into account is that media-cultural education involves very disparate target groups.
For these reasons, a modular or project-oriented structure of the online offering at netzspannung.org seemed most appropriate. The participants presented the results of the individual projects and discussed to what extent it would be possible to offer individual approaches and concepts on the platform.
This workshop formed the starting point for developing the Learning area at netzspannung.org. Subsequently, the netzspannung.org team worked out a concept of how particular approaches could be presented on the platform.
