Programme Available for the Kaleidoscope Symposium
London (UK)/Berlin (GER), September 2007 - Europe's leading research network in the field of technology-enhanced learning will host the Kaleidoscope 2007 Symposium in Berlin on 26-27 November 2007. Registration is now open for non-Kaleidoscope members.
The event will highlight the activities of the network's members and stakeholders and gives insight into the scientific evolution of technology-enhanced learning. During the two-day event, participants will discuss the latest developments and future research priorities relating to the use of technology in learning. The symposium serves to demonstrate the impact, excellence, key synergies, and value of research in the field.
World-renowned experts Prof. Roger Säljö, University of Gothenburg, Sweden, and Francesc Pedró, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), France, will open the event with keynote presentations.
On the first day, Kaleidoscope researchers will present, exhibit, and demonstrate the tangible outcomes of the unique activities undertaken over the last four years. Sessions will cover areas such as mobile, inquiry, and collaborative learning, as well as the use of design patterns and trails in learning.
A focus will be set on a range of crucial issues and potential solutions, from new needs arising in work-place learning to the challenges concerning setting scientific quality criteria for TEL research. The first day will be concluded by Sten Ludvigsen, Scientific Manager of the Kaleidoscope Network, presenting a keynote entitled "Learning across Sites: Crossing Boundaries with Digital Resources".
In an adjoining exhibition area, the multidisciplinary research teams will showcase their activities through hands-on demonstrations and poster displays, as well as make available copies of reports, best practices, resource guides, and other research outcomes.
