Invitation
The opportunity offered by digital media and social
networking leads to the development of new organic learning
environments. A major challenge is how to turn these environments into
instrumental knowledge?
- Where do new
media take us as educators?
- What is for
teachers and learners the value of being active in new media?
- What is the
validity of knowledge in Web 2.0 - how can we measure recognition and
achievement?
- How do media
portray the changing open and distance learning practice?
- How can we
control the potential of media to ensure that they work for all?
- How are media
affecting modes of knowledge organisation?
You are invited
