Learning Conference 2013
The new generation classroom is transforming learning, cultivating engagement by focusing on the best use of collaborative time for active learning tasks. Our learning conference will walk the walk and re-orient itself towards workshops and roundtable discussion, supported by online cloud concepts and discussion papers. The Conference will also host our second 'Speed Dating in the Cloud' event, where we can share and demonstrate many new technologies in a fun, fast-paced setting.
Please Note: Call for Participation closed Monday 7 October, however ideas are welcome, see contact details below.
We are looking to the Deakin community for proposals of learning workshops for the conference. These workshops will also require an introductory cloud concept (of 3-5 minutes) and preparatory materials which may include a learning research paper. We also seek proposals for very short demonstrations for our 'Speed Dating in the Cloud'.
Workshops could include:
Workshop topics might include:
- Successful course enhancement
- Reflective learning
- Equity and access to education
- Portfolios
- Use of badges and micro-credentialing
- MOOCs and developing forms of delivery
- Any other learning innovation.
