The two-day Colston Research Symposium will bring together researchers from
a number of disciplines to consider (and make use of) evolving technologies
and modes of learning.
Over two days there will be four keynote sessions by:
Bonnie Nardi, Professor in the School of Information and Computer Science
at the University of California, Irvine, USA

Education and Skills, UK
Wendy Hall, Professor of Computer Science at the University of Southampton,
UK and
Eric Miller, Activity Lead for the W3C World Wide Web Consortium's Semantic
Web Initiative, USA
The conference format will provide for input, through paired paper
sessions, from diverse perspectives, followed by breakouts for knowledge
exchange. The broad themes of these include:
Community learning and information sharing
Personalised learning spaces
'Can technology learn for you?'
The evolution of standards
The discussion after each session will be recorded and delivered via a
range of the technologies being considered by the Symposium, for example
IRC, blogs, mobile devices, and be posted on this Web site. Wireless
Internet access will be available at the conference venue.
The conference includes a public lecture by Jonathon Drori (Director of
Culture Online, Department for Culture Media and Sport, previously Head of
Commissioning for BBC Online).
