Joint European Summer School on Technology Enhanced Learning 2010
7 – 11 June 2010, Ohrid, Macedonia

Open to: PhD students
Deadline: 26/03/2010

The summer school aims to encourage participants to adopt a critical stance in thinking about the role of technologies in providing opportunities for learners and the potential of these opportunities in terms of learning. Work will centre on three research “Grand Challenges”:
- Connecting learners
- Orchestrating learning
- Contextualising learning environments.

The summer school provides a learning environment where participants get opportunities to: develop their research skills; increase their knowledge base; collaborate with others in their own and complementary research areas; engage in debate; have access to experts in the field; and discuss their own work.
