Lifelong Learning:helping people to develop a mindset for learning
This event took place on Friday 14 December 2007 at 11:30

Prof. José Armando Valente Department of Multimeios and Nied, Unicamp & Ced, PucSP

Our current knowledge about learning and about the use of technology in education has contributed to our understanding about learning that is taking place in schools and how technology can be effectively used in learning processes. In this presentation it is argued that schools are not contributing to help students to develop lifelong learning skills. Also, the development of these skills is related to people's attitude towards learning rather than what technology is used in education. Besides discussing these issues, a teacher training on-line course is presented, which integrates different types of digital technologies and activities to help teachers to acquire lifelong learning skills.

Knowledge Management is...


Knowledge Management
Creating learning organisations hinges on managing knowledge at many levels. Knowledge can be provided by individuals or it can be created as a collective effort of a group working together towards a common goal, it can be situated as "war stories" or it can be generalised as guidelines, it can be described informally as comments in a natural language, pictures and technical drawings or it can be formalised as mathematical formulae and rules, it can be expressed explicitly or it can be tacit, embedded in the work product. The recipient of knowledge - the learner - can be an individual or a work group, professionals, university students, schoolchildren or informal communities of interest.
Our aim is to capture, analyse and organise knowledge, regardless of its origin and form and make it available to the learner when needed presented with the necessary context and in a form supporting the learning processes.
