*Are you interested in how new technologies can impact on the
effectiveness of staff, students and researchers in your institution?*
The Next Generation Technologies in Practice* *conference on 11th March
will be highlighting a range of major developments in multimedia social
technologies, social networking and communities, virtual worlds, and
next generation skills, and explore how these developments can be
actively transferred into real learning, teaching and research practice
and communications. If any of these are of interest to you or your
staff, then you need to come along to find out more - and take part in
the debate about how we, with the use of these new technologies, can
transform higher and further education.
Last year's conference focussed on user needs and applying practice;
this year's conference moves on a stage further to the theme of
'Evaluation, impact and effect' - how do we get the most out of these
developments, and where next?
*A selection of comments from last year's attendees about the best parts
of the event:*
"The opportunity to immerse myself in the ideas .... Relevant
and relaxed .... an excellent and comfortable environment for meeting
new people and exchanging ideas.... learning from others ... the
networking opportunities.... it was easy to network and people were
very friendly and eager to share..."*
