learning experience.
Associated themes include: emerging technologies; personal and social learning
efficacy in a new 'participative learning web'; models of best practice in
participative and collaborative learning; technology enhanced professional
development and work-based learning; managing emerging organisational issues of
quality, ownership and collaboration.

More Details
This conference is firmly focused on learners and learning in Higher and
Further Education. It explores the challenges of retaining that focus amidst the
wave of new technologies to support learning and of exploiting their potential
for participative learning through enabling learners to both situate and to
actively share and shape their learning experience.
Like our successful 'eLearning at the Cusp' conference last year, this year's
conference will be of interest to Higher Education academic developers, managers
and policy makers. It will combine an exploration of key issues at the forefront
of technology supported learning with master classes in paradigms for practice,
to help universities, colleges and practitioners understand, shape and exploit
the potential presented by emerging technologies.
