From China to Kenya, from US and UK to New Zealand: MicroLearning is hot topic,for knowledge build-up and capacity development with ICT
Leading experts and e-learning professionals will meet next week to
discuss "Effectiveness of technology-enhanced learning" at the

Too much complex technology and too few clear learning goals, too

needs provide the e-learning reality backdrop for the conference.
The speakers hail from all over the world, including China
and Kenya, USA and New Zealand, India and England, Germany
and Austria. The conference will be hosted in workshop format by the Research Studios Austria
Forschungsgesellschaft in cooperation with the Corporate Affairs Group of Intel
Corporation, USA.

topics:

Design and Results of Corporate Projects with the KnowledgePulse"
- "Where is Mobile Learning going?"
- "Mobile Learning and Teaching: Evaluation and Empirical
learnings from current projects"
- "ENTERPRISE 2.0 - Evaluating the Effectivity of Social Media
for Learning in Corporate Contexts"
- "Effectiveness and Learning Styles: Why classical e-learning
fails learners and what they would need to be successful in mastering difficult
learning content"
