Upcoming events
Every day I receive emails notifying me about call for papers for different conferences and events. It is difficult to know what to support, let alone what events to attend. But here are two events which Pontydysgu is supporting over the next few months.
The first, Mobile Learning: Crossing boundaries in convergent environments’ takes place in Bremen in Germany on March 21 and 22. The conference is focused on the challenges of developing new pedagogic approaches and on the potential of mobile devices for learning in formal and informal contexts.
The conference, organised by a consortium including Pontydysgu has a great line up of speakers and workshops. It costs only 50 Euro including lunch and there are still places available. For more details and to register see the conference website.
The second is PLE2011 taking place at the University of Southampton. UK, from July 11th ¬ to 13th 2011. The PLE Conference is intended to produce a space for researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas, experience and research around the development and implementation of PLEs – including the design of environments and the sociological and educational issues that they raise. The deadline for proposals is March 26th, 2011. Full details from the conference website.
The final conference in this news round, courtesy of Sigi Jacob via Skype, is the German moodlemoot conference being held in Elmshorn from 14-15 April, 2011. Happy to see Steve wheeler is keynoting at this event. Full details from the moodlemoot website.
