SESSION G5 - EU eLearning Conference 2006 Workshop

Technology Enhanced Learning - Catalyst for Change and Innovation

The workshop gives an insight into the preparations of the forthcoming EU eLearning Conference organised by the European Commission DG Education and Culture, DG Information Society and Media, in collaboration with the Lifelong Learning Institute Dipoli at Helsinki University of Technology and the Ministry of Education, Finland. Against the background of the refocused Lisbon strategy the conference will examine questions such as how new technologies can effectively support innovations in education and training, promote desirable change and support lifelong learning for all. The conference will take a look at the current situation and outline desirable future developments.

This year will also be the final year for various EU education programmes, such as Socrates, Leonardo da Vinci and eLearning. Several important parts of the eLearning programme will find continuation in the new Lifelong Learning Programme (2007-2013). The conference will mark the shift from a separate eLearning programme to a more integrated approach of ICT supported lifelong learning.

SESSION G6 - Real Virtual Erasmus - REVE Workshop

How to Implement Virtual Mobility into Mainstream Higher Education?

Presenters:

During the workshop we will discuss following key issues that need to be considered when implementing virtual mobility in mainstream education: agreements, localisation and accreditation and credit transfer. Presentations on the findings and results of the working groups on these topics within the REVE project will be used as a starting point for discussion. Among other things we will debate questions such as how to define the workload of a course, and the amount and type of credit a course gets, how to exchange credits among institutions, what kind of agreements can be made between universities, IPR issues in joint curriculum development, multilingual approaches, intercultural communication. The aim of this workshop is to collect valuable feedback from the discussions and come to some real solutions for concrete problems in the implementation of virtual mobility in mainstream education with active participation from the audience.

SESSION H6 - Special Interest Group for Game-based Learning for Universities and Lifelong Learning - SIG-GLUE Workshop

Welcome to SIG-GLUE

SIG-GLUE aims to promote more and better use of better learning games. Digital games are a significant element in the digital media and information society. The development of the game industry is not only product for the leisure time, but also for work and learning with many dimensions in the area of the social life, knowledge acquisition and application, soft skills and gaining experiences. The aim of the workshop are:

• learn more about aims of SIG-GLUE network and how to contribute,
• get information about resources that are offered within the SIG-GLUE platform e.g. best practices, research reports, glossary on game-based learning, etc.,
• to learn how to use communication and collaboration tools of the SIG-GLUE platform that foster structured discussions and information exchange of people interested in game-based learning,
• learn about SIG-GLUE Quality Stamp service, evaluation process and quality criteria for learning games.
