<<<< Sorry for cross posting >>>> LEARNING THROUGH SHARING: OPEN RESOURCES, OPEN PRACTICES, OPEN COMMUNICATION Centro Interfacoltà di Linguistica Teorica ed Applicata (CILTA) University of Bologna, 29-30 March 2012
This two-day conference focuses on the impact of adopting openness as a key principle in education. It explores how open resources, open practices and open communication can be integrated in language teaching and learning, and in the initial and continuing development of language teachers. Themes: - theories that underpin openness as a key principle in education - using of OER in teaching and/or course development, including reusing and re-purposing existing resources for different contexts or resource-based learning - integrating learner-generated content into language courses - developing a culture of sharing amongst the teaching community (barriers to and advantages of sharing) - sharing resources and/or practices in teacher education (e.g. through peer review of resources) - sharing resources and intellectual capital with others to raise individual or institutional profiles (e.g. through publishing resources on itunes U, or through a resource repository, open access publishing of research papers ) - promoting learner communication in 'open' environments (e.g. through online gaming, virtual worlds, international discussion boards (Hanna and de Nooy), blogs ...) - facilitating open communication in CMC - where 'sensitive' topics can be broached and diverse opinions are valued. We welcome abstracts relating to Open Educational Resources (OER) or Open Practices from anyone involved in the fields of CMC-based language teaching and learning and foreign language teacher education, including researchers, practitioners and doctoral students. We are particularly interested in proposals that consider, among others, the topics proposed for the conference (see above) *Abstracts of 400 words (including title) should be sent by the deadline of 1 December 2011 to: [email protected] * This event has been organised in conjunction with EuroCALL - www.eurocall-languages.org Conference website : http://eurocallsigsbologna.weebly.com/index.html Eleonora Panto' -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ http://www.puntopanto.it skype: epanto -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
