PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT
[Please cross-post accordingly]
"Beyond Theory: Educational best practice and the use of ICT
for teaching and learning"
11th April, 2003
Oxford Union Debating Chamber
Oxford, UK
Organised by Oxford University's Learning Technologies Group
(http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/ltg)
Sponsored by the JISC Committee for Learning and Teaching
(http://www.jisc.ac.uk)
Target audience: Schools, FE, HE, and lifelong learning
This event will discuss, at a high level, the development of C&IT material
for use in teaching. In particular has pedagogical theory/best practice
fed into this in the past, and if not, should we be trying to remedy the
situation for the future? Are commercial VLEs the answer to our prayers or
are we being pushed into a corner against our better judgement as teachers
and designers?
These questions and many more will be discussed, debated, and maybe even
answered in the one-day colloquium "Beyond Theory: Educational best
practice and the use of ICT for teaching and learning". For the last eight
years Oxford University has organised a series of successful events which
have discussed the place of technology in the spheres of learning,
culture, and society and 'Beyond Theory' continues this.
Speakers this year *include*:
Professor Oleg Liber (Bolton)
Dr. Gilly Salmon (Open University Business School)
Dr. Andrew Ravenscroft (UNL)
Professor Angela McFarlane (Bristol)
Professor David Unwin (UK eUniversities Worldwide)
Bill Olivier (CETIS)
Tom Franklin (TechLearn Centre)
Dr Andy Syson (Coventry)
The event will also include a lengthy debate on the motion:
"This house believes that commercial Virtual Learning Environments (LMS)
provide sufficient facilities for the teaching and learning needs of
Higher and Further Education"
