Algarve, Portugal 7 - 9 December 2007
John Cuthell will be presenting a paper on Braided Learning at this conference next week. The paper, written by Christina Preston and John, draws on extensive research of online interaction between MirandaNet Fellows during projects in which they have been involved. Use of MirandaLink, the MirandaNet Discussion Forums and e-Journals have all contributed to Braided Learning.
The conference is organised by IADIS, the international association for development of the information society (www.iadis.org)
The IADIS CELDA 2007 conference aims to address the main issues concerned with evolving learning processes and supporting pedagogies and applications in the digital age. There have been advances in both cognitive psychology and computing that have affected the educational arena. The convergence of these two disciplines is increasing at a fast pace and affecting academia and professional practice in many ways. Paradigms such as just-in-time learning, constructivism, student-centered learning and collaborative approaches have emerged and are being supported by technological advancements such as simulations, virtual reality and multi-agents systems. These developments have created both opportunities and areas of serious concerns. This conference aims to cover both technological as well as pedagogical issues related to these developments – cognition and exploratory learning in the digital age.
