The first European Conference on TEL

Peter Scott, Wednesday 11 October 2006 | Annotate

The first EC-TEL European conference on Technology Enhance Learning was held recently in Crete, Greece. The conference was organized by the EU Network of Excellent Prolearn and the ProLC Cluster of EU projects. Two days of Workshops was followed by two days of Conference sessions and rounded off by two more days of EU project meetings! I was the workshops chair and can confirm the HUGE success of the workshop sessions. Six very stimulating workshops and one Doctoral School filled the EC-TEL strarting programme excellently. The FlashVlog below was the best I could do, given the pretty poor internet connection at an otherwise grand venue.

As our first European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning this venue provided an excellent forum to showcase a wide range of research related to technology-enhanced learning. It also allowed us to show the interactions of TEL with knowledge management, business processes and work environments. EC-TEL 2006 offered invaluable networking possibilities for participating researchers throughout the week via project meetings and discussions for EU/IST projects funded within the 6th framework program under the action line of 'Technology- Enhanced Learning and Access to Cultural Heritage'. Crete this October was the place for all the key projects in this theme to be in concert!!! This vlog was done just after the Prolearn part was over. Phew!
