More Details

This conference is firmly focused on learners and learning in Higher and Further Education. It explores the challenges of retaining that focus amidst the wave of new technologies to support learning and of exploiting their potential for participative learning through enabling learners to both situate and to actively share and shape their learning experience.

Like their successful ‘eLearning at the Cusp’ conference last year, this year’s conference will be of interest to Higher Education academic developers, managers and policy makers. It will combine an exploration of key issues at the forefront of technology supported learning with master classes in paradigms for practice, to help universities, colleges and practitioners understand, shape and exploit the potential presented by emerging technologies.

The cost of the conference is £130
