Plymouth (UK), March 2010 - The fifth Plymouth e-Learning Conference will challenge notions of traditional boundaries, learning spaces, and roles. The focus is on new practices, new technologies, new environments, and new learning. The event is being held at the University of Plymouth on 08-09 April 2010.
Conference Chair is Steve Wheeler, and keynote speakers are Josie Fraser and Donald Clark. Josie Fraser is well known in the field of social media and learning and writes regularly about her research on her blog SocialTech. At this year's conference, Josie will talk about how social media can be used to liberate learners and how we might attain learning without limits in a truly anytime, anyplace context.
Donald Clark was CEO and one of the original founders of Epic Group plc, which established itself as the leading company in the UK eLearning market, floated on the stock market in 1996, and was sold in 2005. Describing himself as 'free from the tyranny of employment', he is now a board member of Ufi (LearnDirect), LINE Communications, Caspian Learning, Brighton Festival, and a school governor.
In previous years, this conference has attracted academics and professional practitioners from all sectors of education and training, including corporate, health, and the military. It will be of interest to all teachers, lecturers, and researchers in the field of eLearning and information and communication technologies.
