Conference Announcement.
(apologies for cross-posting)
Improving Student Learning Using Learning Technologies,
9 - 11 September 2001,
Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh, UK
This conference will provide a forum to explore the research evidence
available of the possible ways and the degree to which the use of
different learning technologies may help to improve student learning.
The prime focus will be on the implications of the use of
learning technologies on teaching and learning rather than on the
technology itself.
The major aim of this symposium is to bring together those who are
primarily researchers into learning in higher education, learning
technologists responsible for supporting the development of Information
and Communication Technology (ICT) in teaching and learning, and
teachers in higher education who are interested in improving their
practice. The phrase 'learning technologies' was deliberately chosen to
encompass the widest possible range of applications going beyond ICT
based activities such as computer-aided assessment, computer-mediated
discussion, on-line course delivery, electronic portfolios, and
student-created web pages to potentially include all audio-visual media
such as audio-tape and video as well.
Over the past eight years the Improving Student Learning Symposium has
welcomed a wide international audience with participants from over 27
countries
Themes:
Sessions for the symposium have been grouped under the following four
questions:
How do students learn using learning technologies (LTs)?
How can course design using LTs assist student learning?
How can we research student learning using LTs?
How can we successfully innovate/disseminate the use of LTs?
An electronic booking form is now available on the ISL website:

It is also worth noting that this symposium has been designed in
conjunction with the ALT-C conference which will take place immediately
after ISL for the following two days at the University of Edinburgh,
and there is a discount for booking for both conferences. For more
