The Summit presents an opportunity for Australian and international researchers, practitioners, students, industry experts and government to come together to debate global research, practice and professional issues.
DEHub and ODLAA aim to bring together colleagues globally who are engaged in pedagogical research to work together collaboratively to address key issues in the field. DEHub takes a broad view that collaboration involves connecting, sharing and co-building of knowledge in a variety of global contexts amongst and with a range of researchers and practitioners. The Education 2011-2021: Summit presents an opportunity for this connecting, sharing and co-building of knowledge.
We encourage colleagues to participate by contributing full papers, research notes, posters, workshops and plenary sessions to the Summit with a focus on the three themes that underpin the DEHub objectives.
Theme 1: Research and Development;
Theme 2: Community and Open Learning; and
Theme 3: Learning and Teaching.
Within these themes we wish to highlight possible topic areas for focus and consideration on the themes page of the web site
The deadline for the submission of full papers is 27 August 2010.
Posters, Workshops, Research notes and plenary panel proposals by the 25 September 2010.
