EXPLOITING LEARNING TECHNOLOGY: ISSUES FOR LEARNERS AND EDUCATORS
Colloquium organised by Professional Group A5 (Human interface systems
engineering)
and cosponsored by Professional Group A4 (Artificial intelligence)
Wednesday, 18 November 1998
Savoy Place, London
AIMS AND SCOPE
Learning technology looks set to make a significant and lasting impact
on
higher education and on vocational training, and is a major driver in
new
learning initiatives (Lifelong Learning, National Grid for Learning,
University of Industry, The Learning Age). Current trends indicate a
widespread adoption of the web as the major delivery technology,
creating
a new learning situation and changing the role of both teacher (or
trainer) and student. If web based learning is to be embraced, by
education and industry, then a new learning paradigm needs to emerge,
one
that takes into account individual learning styles, the need for
interactivity and immediacy of feedback, learning environments that
support both educator and student.
The colloquium, will appeal to a wide range of professionals involved
in
education, industrial training or multimedia development. It will
address: virtual learning environments; interface and infrastructure
design; pedagogy and educational policy; evaluation strategy and
quality
assurance.
If you are excited about the huge potential of learning technology but
are realistic enough to want to explore the underlying design and
pedagogic issues then you should attend this colloquium, learn from
leading edge technologists and developers, and share your insights and
experiences.
