TeLearn events

We are not aiming at offering a comprehensive calendar of events in the field technology-enhanced learning, but present a selection limited to:

• conferences, workshops, exhibitions etc. where EU-funded technology-enhanced learning research is represented
• meetings and workshops for the technology-enhanced learning constituency organised by the European Commission

Recent and upcoming events

29 September – 2 October 2009

ECTEL 2009 - Fourth European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning
Cannes, France
ECTEL 2009 aimed at bringing together new technological developments and learning models. The conference explored how the synergy of multiple disciplines, ranging from computer science, education, psychology, cognitive science, and social science, can provide new, more effective and more sustainable, technology-enhanced learning solutions. Marco Marsella, European Commission, Unit 'Cultural Heritage and Technology Enhanced Learning',  has presented the work programme for technology-enhanced learning in ICT Call 5.
Participating technology-enhanced learning projects: GRAPPLE, LTfLL, MATURE, PALETTE, ROLE, STELLAR, TENcompetence.

2nd Workshop on Mash-UP Personal Learning Environments (MUPPLE-09) - Interoperable Widgets, Services, and Microformats to facilitate Competence Development

Nice, France
More and more online learning applications are putting the learners at the centre stage, and empower them with capabilities to customize and even construct their own personal learning environments. These typically consist of distributed web applications and services that support system-spanning collaborative and individual learning activities in formal and informal settings. They complement Learning Management Systems with additional widgets, services, and data integrated from and with organisation-external learning tools.

The aim of the MUPPLE-09 workshop was to discuss how learning experiences can be enriched using mash-ups of widgets and services with microformats, how technology can help to respond automatically to competence level, learning need or context, and which competencies are needed to deploy mash-up technologies.

Participating technology-enhanced learning projects: ROLE, STELLAR, LTfLL, MATURE, PALETTE, and TENcompetence.

This workshop was part of ECTEL 2009.

14 October 2009

Workshop on Intelligent Personalization and Adaptation in Digital Educational Games
Graz, Austria
The workshop, organised by the 80Days project, explored ideas, approaches, case studies, and technologies in the context of intelligent adaptation and personalisation in educational games. It took place in conjunction with the European Conference on Games-based Learning (ECGBL).

19-20 November 2009

Rethinking Learning and Employment at a time of economic uncertainty
Manchester, UK

For some years there has been an awareness that the pace of social, technical and economic change in a global environment required increasing adaptability in businesses and organisations, and in the people who work in them. Traditional qualifications curricula and career structures are too rigid to be appropriate in the new conditions. Research into the effectiveness of current practice, and the development of new models and theories is needed. In this workshop, TENCompetence researchers seek to gather the latest research and theoretical perspectives on all aspects of lifelong competence development, and to explore the ways in which they can be applied in transforming organisations and practice.

10-11 December 2009

Inter-Organizational Learning and Competence Development: Web 2.0 Experiences and Trends

Fontainebleau, France

This TENCompetence symposium provides an opportunity to come into touch, discuss with peers and experience first hand the impact of Web 2.0 concepts and trends in the area of organisational learning and knowledge management. Contributions include experiences and insights from innovative Web 2.0 enhanced learning within large corporations, in inter-organisational contexts and in broader learning networks.
