Overview of programme
Supported by new technologies and led by new requirements from society, new ways of learning are being developed which may entail a complete recasting of the traditional education and training modalities.
These new ways of learningin schools, universities, at home and in work environmentsare no longer restricted to distinct periods of life, different categories of people, separate learning methodologies, different contents and practices. The workshop will identify and develop key issues associated with technological support for learning, which encompasses education, training and organisational learning.
Who should attend? Anyone interested in education, training and organisational learning: teachers & lecturers, institution managers, education authorities, IC technology suppliers, users (from industry and academia) course and service providers, politicians, etc.
The workshop will be chaired by Roberto Carneiro, President, Grupo Forum (P)
