In our ages research is an indispensable activity to provide information for development, decision-making and quality of products and services. Besides this pragmatic view research is urgently needed to learn more about the world we live in and the impacts of former as well as present innovations. This obviously is valid for the development and progress of Open and Distance Learning all over the world, too. Even more this is the case as many changes occur and the pace as well as the extent of innovation very often seems to be dramatically fast and wide.
Distance education, through its successive developments, from correspondence courses to mass media and present web 2.0 learning has played a central role to make learning possible wherever it has been needed.
Lifelong learning - from school level up to vocational, higher and continuing educations - has constantly looked to the flexibility of the methods and tools of open and distance learning, and nowadays including e-learning.
While recognising that there are different perspectives on the definition of e-learning, the workshop aims to focus on research both into fully online distance education, and also into e-learning that combines face-to-face teaching with online learning.
Within the general theme, there will be three parallel sub-themes:
Learner support is central for success in education and training in general and in open and distance learning (ODL) in particular. The emerging use of e-learning demands that we examine, analyse and develop our concepts and practices to ensure that they are appropriate to the changing education and training environment.
E-learning increasingly becomes the inevitable form of creating, acquiring and transmitting knowledge. In the field of assessing student performance, evaluating the quality of teaching, judging the value of a digital educational solution, research has recently been intensive and successful. For many e-learning programs however, methods of assessment remain traditional.
How students are driving teachers, instructors in the fields where new learning technologies play important role? How does instruction work, where borders between physical and virtual learning environments disappear, where roles of students and teachers have changed, where new pedagogical paradigms and didactic approaches are introduced?
