At a time of a raising amount of information it seems to be necessary, to be connected with other people and to exchange the knowledge so everyone is up to date and can open up additional knowledge resources which can help to accomplish given challenges.
Continuing the discussion about the education trend the second educamp about “Teaching and Learning 2.0″ is organized on 10th to 12th of October 2008. Everyone who is interested in that education development is sincerely invited to come to the Erwin-Schrödinger-Centre at Humboldt University in Berlin. This building is featured with modern seminar rooms, an audimax and a big lounge area.
Main topics of the coming educamp are “Corporate Learning 2.0″ and “E-learning in universities”. Other planned subjects are, e.g. “E-Portfolios” or “Digital games and virtual worlds” in education. Based on the barcamp-concept, everyone is requested to bring an own issue along, which should be discussed.
