SCOPE OF THE EVENT

Objectives

The 6th International Conference on New Educational Environments (ICNEE) emphasizes on the concept of blended learning. The main focus lies on the exchange of:
  • Experiences through lively presentations of blended learning courses, best practice and lessons learned.
  • Results in pertinent research and project know-how.
  • Strategies of implementation and realization of new teaching and learning methods in an institution or a company.
  • Knowledge based on experiences of support- and production centers for media didactics, which foster the sustainable implementation of new and innovative teaching methods in their respective institution through assisting and consulting the teachers and the school board in the field of education and school development.
  • Concepts in application of blended learning within the scope of the Bologna - Declaration, which promotes the modularization of courses, the self-study and the requirement to offer courses in collaboration with partners and institutions.

Target Group

  • Senior experts and users of blended learning
  • Researchers and project managers
  • Members of support- and production centers for new learning environments
  • Officers for education and teaching, deans, head teachers
  • Teachers and lecturers
  • Students

This year a special invitation is issued to managers and teachers of postgraduate and adult further education.

Concept:

In order to achieve our objectives we provide platforms of presentation, discussion and contact for researchers, educational scientists and managers. There will be the traditional paper presentations, poster sessions and tool demonstrations but we also encourage new forms of communication such as open space, workshops and discussions. Especially welcome are examples of successful training units for practical demonstration.
