| Long-Term Planning | PRINT | | Rethinking Education in the Knowledge Society |
Lugano/Ascona (CH), June 2010 - The New Media in Education Laboratory (NewMinE Lab) of the University of Lugano (USI) is organizing the international "red-conference – rethinking education in the knowledge society" in collaboration with the Ecole Politechnique Fédérale de Lausanne and the University of Sankt Gallen. It will take place at Centro Stefano Franscini, situated at Monte Veritŕ, from 07-10 March 2011.
The red-conference brings together experts and researchers investigating the field of technology in education.
The primary goals of the red-conference are:
- The provision of an interdisciplinary discussion venue where both veteran and young researchers in the area of digital technologies in education can share experiences;
- The provision of a networking environment for researchers, with special reference to funding agencies;
- The dissemination of research results of young scholars, contributing to their establishment within the local and international research community.
Contributions under the umbrella "rethinking education in the knowledge society" may come from a range of disciplinary fields and should address, directly or indirectly, one of the following "hot topics" in the field of digital technologies and learning:
Sustainability
Innovative learning designs, (partly) incorporating learning technologies, are often introduced with high expectations and unrealistic promises to improve teaching and learning practices. Which kinds of learning cultures are needed to make innovations sustainable? Which factors support their diffusion from the pioneering stage to a broader acceptance and implementation?
Orchestration
How do technologies support teachers in managing multiple individual, collaborative, or class-wide activities? Does the physical layout of digital artefacts have an influence on learning activities? Do multi-touch interfaces enable new learning approaches? Will paper documents be eradicated or be integrated into new educational practices around augmented paper?
Informal Learning
The spread of web 2.0 technologies has paved the road for new forms of informal learning. What do people actually learn by using these technologies? Do these technologies also impact on formal education? Do they change the way learning is understood both locally and globally? Do they erase the frontier between learning technologies and media in general?
Important Dates:
Closing date for submission: 03 October 2010
Notification of acceptance: 14 November 2010
Submission of revised paper: 05 December 2010

an eLearning Platform | | 3D simulations and serious games are attaining ever-increasing significance for the learning world. A special case of its own is the virtual world Second Life. The CHECK.point eLearning Whitepaper "Second Life as an eLearning Platform" seeks to contribute to the discussion about Second Life’s suitability as a technological platform for education and training. The study answers questions like "For which application scenarios is Second Life suitable?" and "Which topics can be implemented successfully in Second Life?"
