*Invitation *

The opportunity offered by digital media and social networking leads to 
the development of new organic learning environments. A major challenge 
is how to turn these environments into instrumental knowledge?

    * Where do new media take us as educators?
    * What is for teachers and learners the value of being active in new
      media?
    * What is the validity of knowledge in Web 2.0 - how can we measure
      recognition and achievement?
    * How do media portray the changing open and distance learning
      practice?
    * How can we control the potential of media to ensure that they work
      for all?
    * How are media affecting modes of knowledge organisation?

You are invited to submit proposals (full text, no abstract is required) 
for *presentations* in parallel sessions, *posters*, short 
*demonstrations* and *workshops*, that relate to one or more of the

Conference Venue, Valencia*

Valencia, situated in the centre of the Spanish Mediterranean coastline, 
is the third largest city in Spain, containing a dense *monumental 
heritage* but its landmark is undoubtedly the *City of Arts and 
Sciences* an avant-garde and futuristic museum complex.

Valencia has plenty of sights from over 2000 years of history, active 
cultural life, excellent local and international gastronomy, unique 
nightlife, good beaches, preserved traditional culture. The city is 
offering all this with well-developed tourist infrastructure, in a warm, 
friendly and welcoming environment.

The famous Spanish dish paella originated around Valencia.

*The Conference will be organised in collaboration with Universidad 
Politecnica de Valencia*

The venue of the event will be *Universidad Politecnica de Valencia 
<http://www.upv.es/index-en.html>* (UPV), flagship innovative University 
in the dynamic region, offering highly valued modern, flexible degrees 
for the local industry as well as internationally.
