European Conference on Educational Research: the Podcast (Episode 1)
Last week we broadcast three live internet radio programmes from the European Conference on Educational Research (ECER) in Cadiz. Here is the first of the programmes.
ECER is a huge conference, this year attracted some 2700 participants. It is run by 27 networks who each put together their own programme. The networks cover a wide range of topics – from Continuing Professional Development: Learning for Individuals, Leaders, and Organisations to Open Learning: Media, Environments and Cultures to Social Justice and Intercultural Education.
We wanted to reflect the diversity of the networks in our programmes and at the same time try to capture something of the feel of the conference. I don;t know if we succeeded but it was a lot of fun and also hard work.
Many thanks to the Pontydysgu crew: Nic, Jen, Dirk and Maria.
