Innovating
e-Learning 2009 is just around the corner
Book now
for the fourth JISC online conference ‘Thriving, not just surviving’ 24-27th
November!
What
are the challenges facing 21st century institutions? What
opportunities does technology offer to help overcome those challenges? You can
contribute to these debates in the company of leading thinkers, broadcasters
and academics.
The
2009 programme features keynotes from:
Charles
Leadbeater,
(leading authority on innovation and strategy); Nigel Paine (writer,
broadcaster, organisational learning specialist and former Head of People
Development at the BBC); Rhona Sharpe (Oxford Brookes University) and Helen
Beetham (JISC Learners’ Experiences of e-Learning theme); Peter Bradwell
(Demos) on The Edgeless University.
Sessions
include Brian Lamb (University of British Columbia) on open educational
content, Graham Attwell, Martin Weller (The Open University), Rob
Howe, (University of Northampton) debating the demise (or otherwise) of
educational institutions, Becka Currant and colleagues (University of
Bradford) on using new technologies to engage and retain students, Alan
Staley (Birmingham City University) on acquiring workplace skills while on
course, John Kirriemuir and Kathryn Trinder (Glasgow Caledonian
University) on making the most of virtual worlds in teaching and learning, Mike
Neary (University of Lincoln) on engaging key
stakeholders in the design of physical learning spaces.
Looking
for something else? You can also follow new work by JISC projects on transforming
delivery of learning with mobile and web 2.0 technologies, and engaging
employers and professional bodies in the design of the curriculum. James
Clay (Gloucestershire College) returns as the conference blogger, guided
tours of Second Life and opportunities for hands-on experience of innovative
learning environments and resources in the Have-a-Go area complete a rich and
innovative conference programme.
