From Innovation to Learning and Practice
The Conference welcomes researchers and developers from European and non-European countries and industries to present recent advances in technologies, applications, and learning models in all areas of technology-enhanced learning.
The TEL community is faced by new research questions related to large-scale deployment of technology-enhanced learning, support of individual learning environments through mashup and social software, new approaches in TEL certification, and the like.
Furthermore, new approaches are required for TEL design, implementation, and use to improve the understanding and communication of educational needs among all stakeholders, including researchers, learners, tutors, educational organizations, companies, TEL industry, and policy makers. ECTEL 2010 will bring together technological developments, learning models, and implementations of new and innovative approaches to training and education.
Keynote speakers are:
- Prof. Judy Kay, Director of CHAI - Computer Human Adapted Interaction Research Group, University of Sydney, who will present a visionary talk on "Personalisation, HCI, and learning";
- Dr. José Ãngel Martínez Usero, Director of International Projects, Technosite-Fundación ONCE, whose keynote address is entitled "Research Trends in Accessible eLearning: Interoperability of Solutions, Ubiquity of Resources, and Personalization of Services"; and
- Pat Manson and Marco Marsella, from the European Commission, Unit 'Cultural Heritage and Technology Enhanced Learning'. Their keynote is called "The Future Funding of TEL from the EC Point of View" (closing session).
