The Learning Technology Centre at University of Manitoba is announcing a new initiative to increase the dialogue on, and awareness of, innovative approaches to the use of technology to improve the effectiveness of learning. We are currently seeking individuals and organizations interested in partnering with us. The basic structure:
- Monthly online (live) presentations showcasing innovative technology projects
- The formation of a network of practitioners to dialogue about the implications of different types of technologies - we will host this in Moodle
The goal of this project is to form a central node for the dialogue and debate of different approaches to technology use in the learning process. While our specific focus is on higher education, it is hoped that sub-communities will form on the moodle site focusing on K-12, corporate, or other environments.
If you're interested in being involved (in partnering with us, presenting your innovative topic, or simply to be a member of the network/discussion), or would like to be added to a mailing list of future activities,send me an email: george_siemens@umanitoba.ca.
Our first session will be held on April 12, 2007 at 11:00 am CST. Peter Tittenberger and I will be presenting the Virtual Learning Commons project at University of Manitoba, and the implications to online sense of community in academic environments.
