Pays : Royaume-Uni
Langue(s) : anglais
Date : du 06-09-2011 au 08-09-2011
Lieu : Leeds
Organisation : Association for Learning Technology (ALT)
Programme :
In 2011, education systems throughout the world are attempting to do more, better, and often with less. As the political, economic, social, agency and technological landscapes change, it is tempting for people in the learning technology community simply to "go on with vigour, hoping for the best". But this would be to miss a major opportunity.
Innovation is strongly stimulated by crises and pressures of all kinds. Our challenges are to:
* analyse and plan, and create and marshal evidence;
* demonstrate the benefits of astute deployment of technology to support learning;
* listen to and involve learners, teachers, and institutional leaders;
* draw on know-how and practice internationally, from across and outside our individual fields;
* take an institutional approach, whilst focusing on openness and frugality.
Time, the social tide, the expectations of learners, and economic pressure at organisational level will themselves be a driving force for innovation. The scope for people in our community to make a difference is great.
Keynote Speakers:
- Miguel Brechner
President of the Uruguayan Centre for Technological and Social Inclusion (CITS), and head of Plan Ceibal, Uruguay's One Laptop Per Child (and Teacher) project, under which all children and teachers in public schools in Uruguay have received their own laptop and connectivity to the Internet.
- Karen Cator
Director of the Office of Educational Technology at the U.S. Department of Education, and previously head of Apple's leadership and advocacy efforts in education, where she focused on the intersection of education policy and research, emerging technologies, and the reality faced by teachers, students and managers.
- John Naughton
Professor of the Public Understanding of Technology at the Open University, a Fellow of Wolfson College, Cambridge, the Observer's technology columnist and co-founder of the technology start-up Cambridge Visual Networks.
