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.

Narrative Hypermedia is...


Narrative Hypermedia
Narrative is concerned fundamentally with coherence, for instance, whether that be a fiction, an historical account or an argument, none of which 'make sense' unless they are put together in a coherent manner.

Hypermedia is the combination of hypertext for linking and structuring multimedia information.

Narrative Hypermedia is therefore concerned with how all of the above narrative forms, plus the many other diverse forms of discourse possible on the Web, can be effectively designed to communicate coherent conceptual structures, drawing inspiration from theories in narratology, semiotics, psycholinguistics and film.
