“…[9]- [11] The low cost resources implemented are accessible and may easily be reproduced in other institutions, giving an extension of the utilization of the laboratories and exhibition of the experiments produced on those for more users in different places, showing the achievements of the researchers group. This sharing diversifies and extends the advantage of experiments, allowing many phenomenons and concepts studied in classroom to show the practical advantage of knowing them.…”

Abstract-In this paper the authors intend to demonstrate the utilization of remote experimentation (RE) using mobile computational devices in the Science areas of the elementary school, with the purpose to develop practices that will help in the assimilation process of the subjects taught in classroom seeking to interlink them with the daily students' activities. Allying mobility with RE we intend to minimize the space-temporal barrier giving more availability and speed in the information access.

Time is crucial in managing human relationships, especially when talking about communities of people: timetables govern most of our labor activities, our family rhythms, and the organization of our personal life. Strangely, time management have received a great attention in office automation software, like Project management tools, agendas, to-do lists etc, but has been totally forgot in what nowadays is the absolute dominator of human-computer interactions, i.e. social networks, and even in e-learning system. In this paper, we will present the main characteristics of services like meeting organization, shared agendas, shared calendars, task management and to-do lists services added to our virtual community platform, used in educational settings. They are not just a customization of existing similar services: the fact of being integrated and available inside the virtual community gives them many new possibilities of usage and usefulness for end-users. The scope of the virtual community and its well defined mission for participants (a classroom, a research group, a meeting, a secretariat etc) maximizes the benefits obtainable from the usage of these services inside the community with the other members.In the paper, these aspects will be presented together with the theoretical aspects related to time-based interaction among virtual communities. Some of these services will be presented in the details of their structure and in the great potential that could be expressed when used as a support to the virtual community life, like for example the task-list service, a quite sophisticated, CPM (critical path method)-compatible planner resembling project management software and used to plan, monitor and manage the activities of community members. The results of early experimentations on virtual learning communities composed by teachers, students and tutors will be illustrated

Abstract. There are a few hints (e.g. PISA) that today's' German school system could be improved to prepare students for their future (professional) lives in an adequate way. To meet the requirements of today's society, education has to change to become a life-long learning process. E-Learning provides opportunities for this purpose. In this paper two studies at the University of Education Weingarten are presented, which investigate the impact of wikis and weblogs on students' learning processes. While the first one investigates the impact of weblogs on students' motivation and reflection processes, the second one concentrates on collaboration and knowledge sharing by utilizing wikis for mathematical projects.
