Fostering Quality through Creative Learnscapes
Helsinki (FI), June 2009 - The EFQUEL Innovation Forum 2009 is being held in Helsinki on 24-25 September 2009. It recognises the important role of informal learning for individual, organisational, and regional learning and focuses on how creative learnscapes can foster quality and innovation.
Learnscapes are the ecosystems for informal learning. They are viewed as a major factor for releasing creativity, providing the space for learners to design their own -œlearning landscape-, and thus develop educational practices and organisations.
The meeting - in line with the European year for creativity and innovation - will be an interactive forum in which examples of the power of creative learning will be presented. Furthermore, possibilities for harnessing innovation and leading change towards a better quality will be debated.
The forum brings together the most creative minds and prominent thinkers of the field from Europe and beyond in order to build a learnscape in which participants and presenters can build visions for their own practice.
The topics foreseen are:
- Quality Marks in eLearning
- Innovation in HE
- GBL and the change of virtual informal learning
- Innovation in Lifelong Learning / Adult Learning
- Learning in the Web 2.0
- Policies for Creativity and Innovation
- Healthcare and eLearning
- Global Learning
