En kort beskrivning om konferensen av Graham Attwell, en av arrangörerna (se bloggposten)

 

The PLE Conference 2010 is intended to produce a space for researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas, experience and research around the development and implementation of PLEs; including the design of environments, and sociological and educational issues and their effectiveness and desirability as (informal) learning spaces. Whilst the conference will include a traditional research paper strand, we also wish to encourage proposals for sessions in different formats including workshops, posters, debates, cafe sessions, hands on sessions and demonstrations. We will also provide opportunities for unconferencing events, including the provision of spaces for informal meetings and discussions.

The face-to-face conference will take place in the Open Innovation Centre for the Community in Barcelona. The Centre located in a converted factory, and provides a variety of purpose designed spaces for exchanging ideas, including an auditorium, meeting rooms and spaces for informal discussions. The centre is well equipped with multi-media equipment, and there will be free access to a fast wireless network throughout the venue. The conference will utilise multiple on-line spaces including a web site, a social networking space for participants, and other social software.
