> In the ISEA2010 Education Workshop the identification and discussion
> of specific key educational issues initiates the open exchange between
> educational experts and workshop participants. Roy Ascott's
> introduction on pioneering platforms for PhD studies forms the base
> for the exchange. The contribution by educational experts is focused
> on learning methods and accreditation, including PhD studies and novel
> incentives leading to hybrid learning and interdisciplinary practice.

> In recent years more and more academic institutions require lecturers
> with advanced degrees; yet obtaining these qualifications remains a
> problem in several countries of continental Europe - leading to fierce
> debates on educational circumstances. What is our role in this
> environment and how do we proceed? Roy Ascott's Planetary Collegium
> initiative is a remarkable example of a pioneering international
> platform for PhD studies. His introduction to the ISEA2010 Education
> Workshop forms the base of the discussion on the complexity of these
> issues. These complexities include numerous significant items
> including packaged e-learning, various business models and social
> technologies for higher education etc., Within the scope of this
> workshop however the discussion is focused predominantly on various
> aspects of PhD studies and hybrid learning.
> To unpack the monopoly of higher educational methods by academia,
> hybrid learning is also investigated in the ISEA2010 Education
> Workshop. A palpable tension exists between academic and hands-on
> education, yet from Bogotá to Budapest an increasing number of
> professionals are deeply involved in the convergence of networked
> communication, arts& science & technology projects, environmental
> issues and urban space. The explosion of this new ecology has not been
> pre-planned; it is mainly due to a tremendous interest by the emerging
> generation, whose daily reality has profoundly changed and is often in
> conflict with certain rigid educational concepts.
