Workshop "TEL in working context"
13-15 November 2006
Grenoble - France
This Workshop aims to address the main issues on Technology Enhanced Learning and Training in Working contexts. This domain is yet quite few represented in research, despite it is a really important challenge to accompany actors of professional learning and training: apprentices, experts, trainers, policy makers. It will explore the potential and / or effective impact of new technologies on the processes of learning and training in professional contexts. It will allow to identify models of learning and training, and conceptual tools which support the design, use and evaluation of TEL in a range of different contexts.
Call for participation
Paper submission is to be made in pdf or doc format to vanda.luengo@imag.fr by September 9 2006. Papers do not exceed 8 pages and can be related to completed or on going research. Poster submission is especially dedicated to beginning research (PhD students).
Principal themes of submission:
Contributions are awaited to cover a large spectrum of issues related to TEL in working contexts, amongst which
- Theoretical frameworks and methodologies for TEL in working contexts: learning, knowledge, skills, gesture, computer modelisation, interaction analysis, feedback...
- Tools and computer devices for the learning and training in working contexts: simulations, training programs, assessment, accreditation...
Chair of the scientific programme: Vanda Luengo, University Joseph Fourier, Grenoble, France
