I recently returned from this interesting and worthwhile conference. Organized biennially by the Open Hellenic University, a majority of sessions were in Greek, but there was plenty of interesting stuff in the English sessions. many of the themes we encounter here in OLT–open access, competencies, elearning post-graduate study–are issues others are facing. Overall though I would say we continue to be a leader in how to respond effectively to them! You can see the conference program here.
However I would appreciate it if someone could explain to me why so few educational technologies know how to get an LCD projector to recognize a computer, No, really. And…for some reason they contracted someone to develop a flash version of a digital proceedings. None of the tables of contents are accurate and I cannot find my paper in the proceedings–even though it’s listed. You can take a look yourself if you’d like. The proceedings are also not printer-friendly. I’ve sent a (nice) email to the conference chair asking for pdf versions of all the English language papers…no response just yet.
My paper was about the new applications course for the MET program. You can read the paper here and see the slides here. I would venture that our paper was one of the better received ones. Which is nice. 🙂
