2012 Leuven Research workshops

Learners in the Driving Seat – Users? – Partners? – Consumers? – Peers? Where are we heading to?

7th EDEN Research Workshop, 22-23 October 2012, Leuven

 

How students are driving teachers, instructors in the fields where new learning technologies play important role?  How does instruction work, where borders between physical and virtual learning environments disappear, where roles of students and teachers have changed, where new pedagogical paradigms and didactic approaches are introduced?

These were only some of the key questions participants discussed in Leuven. The main focal point was how does instruction work, where borders between physical and virtual learning environments disappear, where roles of students and teachers have changed, where new pedagogical paradigms and didactic approaches are introduced. Student-centred learning is high on the agenda. Still, there are contexts of mass higher education which represent a real challenge to student-centred approaches, even with the support of ICT.
