MobilityShifts: An International Future of Learning Summit

Call for Workshops, Demonstrations, Panel Discussions and Short Talks

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS JULY 1, 2011 

11:59pm (EST)



MobilityShifts

When: October 10-16, 2011

Where: The New School, New York City

http://mobilityshifts.org



MOBILITYSHIFTS IS: provocative conversations, original ideas, engaging

performances, workshops and art projects about digital learning. Where,

when, how, and even what we are learning is changing. Digital learning

is not only taking place online or in the university classroom but is

also situated in museums, after school programs, living rooms, public

libraries and peer-to-peer universities. The future of learning will not

be solely determined by digital culture but by the re-organization of

power relationships and institutional protocols. MobilityShifts will

bring together leading scholars, artists, web developers, technologists,

teachers, librarians, policy makers, critical legal scholars and

learning activists to discuss how digital media can play a positive role

in this process of transformation. 



Comprised of a conference, exhibition, workshops, project demos and a

theater performance, this summit will add an international layer to the

existing debate about digital fluencies for a mobile world and learning

outside the bounds of traditional institutions of higher education. 



Drawing on New York City’s strengths as a global hub for learning,

innovation and design, the summit will showcase theories, people and

projects making unexpected connections between self-learning, mobile

platforms and the Open Web. Learn, discuss, laugh, write

mini-manifestos, record videos, conduct interviews and meet future

collaborators.
