Amsterdam
THURSDAY 25 JANUARY
Carré Conference In order to sell knowledge you need to be found, amidst
the blizzard, by people who need what you can provide. In a
world that values 'hits' and 'links', a key
first step is to understand search engines - and how to attract
their attention.
Leeuwenburg Workshop Describe yourself in a simple text:
your homepage. Attach 'tags' - attributes that you want
to be known by others. Connect your tags to the tags of other
people. Start searching. Be surprised by unexpected connections
among your fellow participants

FRIDAY 26 JANUARY
Carré Conference The web enables new kinds of interaction between teachers
and students. Putting lecture notes online is just a start. What
people value most is engagement. New online publishing tools can
help us engage with students in new ways. Some new learning environments
are being built and maintained by others; we can also make them
ourselves.
Leeuwenburg Workshop Write short texts about your experience in teaching. Link
these stories to those of your collegues and surf through texts
of others. Which new connections have been made? How does the
dynamic content of new media influence the way in which you can
edit a certain subject? How do you design other peoples' contributions
around your concept and knowledge?

SATURDAY 27 JANUARY
Carré Conference Is 'anytime, anywhere learning' for real? Do purely
online courses work, or is a mixture of real and virtual a better
bet? Speakers explore new ways to exchange knowledge in hybrid
environments. Case studies highlight groupware and community tools
that work. Business models are explained that support these new
learning relationships.
Leeuwenburg Workshop
State your opinion about new media in education. Discuss it and
search for other ideas on the internet. What can be the value
of new media in education? Which new media would you like to use
in your daily practice and what do you expect from it?
