Apologies for cross posting.
The Learning Lab in collaboration with the Centre for Learning & Teaching at the University of Wolverhampton is pleased to announce its Spring 2004 Best Practice Seminar series:
Seminar 1: Mobile Learning, Wednesday 21st April
Seminar 2: Developing the e-Citizen: policy and practice, Wednesday 5th May
Seminar 3: What makes e-Learning e-ffective, Wednesday 19th May
Seminar 4: Sharing Content: Learning objects and how to manage them, Wednesday 9th June
ABOUT THE SEMINARS
Each one-day seminar features three case studies and will include plenty of opportunities for questions and discussion. We have deliberately mixed case studies during each day as we believe there is much to be learnt from looking at examples from across the whole education and training sector. All presentations will be followed by the opportunity to cross-question and discuss issues with the presenters as well as the entire group.
Outline details are below. Further information and a booking form can be found on the Learning Lab website at <http://www.learninglab.org.uk/asp/events.asp?ses=&typechk=2>, or contact Liz Fleetham on tel: 01902 323932 or email: [log in to unmask]
LOCATION AND COST
All seminars will take place from 10:00-16:00 at the Learning Lab which is located in Telford, Shropshire, a few minutes from main rail and motorway networks. Full directions are available on the Learning Lab website and will be sent out to all delegates with their booking confirmation. As a not-for-profit organisation we can offer seminars at just £50 per day, including refreshments and lunch.
