Theme: Learning Connections

Technology has had an effect on how we live, how we communicate, and how we learn. The plethora of tools such as blogs, wikis, podcasts, social bookmarking, streaming, YouTube, Skype, Twitter, Facebook and many more.... form the basis of new approaches to, and means of, interacting with learners, each other, and information. Video communications are an important component of many learning environments.

The Internet is not a network of computers it is a network of people! The new technologies are increasingly focused on connecting people. It's important for learners to create connections and develop their own networks - with other learners, with content, with teachers/mentors. It's also important for educators to create connections and develop their own networks.

We now recognise that learners want to be active participants and require a connection on a personal level. The development and provision of collaborative learning communities, communities of practice, meaningful learning opportunities and supportive learning environments engage learners and support their learning goals. Learners do not learn from technology, technology is a tool that enables knowledge construction, collaborations, cooperation and connections across the boundaries of space and time.

Learning Technologies 2008 is about learning, creating and making connections in knowledge construction. At LT2008 you'll be able to learn about the many ways in which technology can support your connections as well as make great new connections with colleagues who have a vast range of experience in the use of learning technologies. You'll be able to interact before, during, and after the conference.

Join us to connect with Case Studies, Featured and Keynote Speakers who will introduce you to an array of learning technologies and how you could be using them. Our Sponsors and Exhibitors will showcase the latest learning technologies and how these could benefit you and your learners.
