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.

New Media Systems is...


Our New Media Systems research theme aims to show how new media devices, standards, architectures and concepts can change the nature of learning.

Our work involves the development of short life-cycle working prototypes of innovative technologies or concepts that we believe will influence the future of open learning within a 3-5 year timescale. Each new media concept is built into a working prototype of how the innovation may change a target community. The working prototypes are all available (in some form) from this website.

Our prototypes themselves are not designed solely for traditional Open Learning, but include a remit to show how that innovation can and will change learning at all levels and in all forms; in education, at work and play.
