Overview

Technology is affecting every part of our society – from the way we communicate and collaborate, to the work we do, the skills we need, and the way we learn those skills. Learning is the key – for students to adapt to new work environments, and to educators preparing these students for new ways of working.

The Future of Learning will provide a platform to explore current and future learning trends in Europe. We will present solutions to transform teaching and learning methods, covering topics such as: gamification; virtual reality; and non-traditional education. The programme will include keynotes, interactive sessions, as well as tailored masterclasses to deep dive in subject of choice.

Education will be essential in solving the pressing global challenges. Our goal is to accelerate the transformation of learning pathways to ensure we can adapt successfully.

We have a range of amazing speakers confirmed – see the line up below.

Digital Ideation

How to engage people online and how to create online content

Educational uses of immersive learning environments

This masterclass will cover the three dimensions that generate the phenomenon of Immersion: systems, narrative, and challenges. It will then use these to situate the educational uses of immersive environments that are grounded in actual accounts in the literature, based on http://hdl.handle.net/10400.2/10070 

We will explore some of the accounts supporting those uses, and discuss how they are making use of the three dimensions of immersion.

Then we will use a questionnaire-based tool developed by EIT Manufacturing project REDVILE to support informed selection of uses for individual trainer’s and learning designers’ needs.

This will conclude by using questionnaire outcomes to highlight how different educational approaches could implement such uses.

Delivered by INESCT TEC – partner of EIT Manufacturing.
