    Idea-Space: A Use Case of Collaborative Course Development in Higher Education
    (Workshop Gemeinschaften in Neuen Medien (GeNeMe) 2015, 2015) AbuJarour, Safa’a; Pirkkalainen, Henri; Tannhauser, Anne-Christin; Trepule, Elena; Vidalis, Aristedes; Volungeviciene, Airina; Pawlowski, Jan; Bick, Markus; Bagucanskyte, Migle; Frankenberg, Anna; Hudak, Raimund; Makropoulos, Constantinos; Pappa, Dimitra; Pitsilis, Vassilis
    A key component of Open Education movement are Open Educational Resources (OER), which are defined as any digital objects that are commonly shared in online repositories and can be freely accessed, reused and adapted by a community of users for educational purposes using an open license scheme. This broad definition includes a lot of different artefacts, such as digital learning objects, software tools like wikis or authoring systems, electronic textbooks, and lesson plans. Existing research on OER has focused on how to make digital objects available and re-usable for educators and learners. Currently, there are millions of resources for basically all subjects, education level. However, their adoption has been limited, the consumption of them is passive, and there are still many barriers towards the uptake of OER. Amongst those, are the not-invented-here syndrome and the lack of involvement and recognition of users who feel that they do or cannot contribute appropriately. In our research, we focus on tweaking the steps that are accomplished before having the resources complete and shared. In particular, in situations when ideas are initiated, shaped, and shared with like-minded people in order to create new educational outcomes, such as OER.

    Influence factors for sharing open science and open educational resources through social networking services
    (6th Conference on Professional Knowledge Management – From Knowledge to Action, 2011) Kalb, Hendrik; Pirkkalainen, Henri; Pawlowski, Jan; Schoop, Eric
    In a knowledge society it is crucial to serve the need for accurate and up-todate knowledge produced by scientists. The possibilities of electronic communication through the use of social software provides means for open discourse and offers easier ways to make scientific and educational resources available that can be used in knowledge management and e-learning. Within this paper, we describe how researchers share knowledge in the form of artefacts. These artefacts consist of open science and open educational resources. The focus will be on understanding the influence factors for sharing these artefacts with social networking services. Through the research, an improved understanding of the decision making and sharing habits of a researcher will be obtained for the use of social software for globally distributed and open scientific communication.

    Soziale Wissensumgebungen
    (Wirtschaftsinformatik: Vol. 56, No. 2, 2014) Pawlowski, Jan M.; Bick, Markus; Peinl, René; Thalmann, Stefan; Maier, Ronald; Hetmank, Lars; Kruse, Paul; Martensen, Malte; Pirkkalainen, Henri
    Wissensmanagement stellt ein Schlüsselelement sowohl für Wissenschaftler als auch für Praktiker in der Wirtschaftsinformatik dar. Das gilt auch für jene, die von den bisher erzielten Resultaten, die den übertriebenen Versprechungen und idealisierten Visionen nicht gerecht werden konnten, desillusioniert sind. Social Software hat als globale Erfolgsgeschichte ähnliche Erwartungen geweckt in Bezug auf die Art und Weise, wie Unternehmen mit ihrem Wissen besser umgehen können. Können diese Erwartungen jedoch in der wissenschaftlichen Forschung und in der Praxis erfüllt werden? Der Artikel versucht, aktuelle Forschungstrends und -lücken aufzuzeigen und legt hierbei einen Schwerpunkt auf soziale Wissensumgebungen. Das vorgeschlagene Forschungsprogramm weist vier Schwerpunkte auf: Die semi-permeable Organisation, Social Software in professionellen Arbeitsumgebungen, Wissen der Crowd und grenzüberschreitendes Wissensmanagement. Um diese Herausforderungen zu adressieren werden drei methodische Lösungen identifiziert: designorientierte Lösungen, analytische Lösungen und interdisziplinärer Dialog.AbstractKnowledge management represents a key issue for both information systems’ academics and practitioners, including those who have become disillusioned by actual results that fail to deliver on exaggerated promises and idealistic visions. Social software, a tremendous global success story, has prompted similarly high expectations regarding the ways in which organizations can improve their knowledge handling. But can these expectations be met, whether in academic research or the real world? The article seeks to identify current research trends and gaps, with a focus on social knowledge environments. The proposed research agenda features four focal challenges: semi-permeable organizations, social software in professional work settings, crowd knowledge, and cross-border knowledge management. Three solutions emerge as likely methods to address these challenges: design-oriented solutions, analytical solutions, and interdisciplinary dialogue.
