Prof. José Armando Valente

This event took place on 14th December 2007 at 11:30am (11:30 GMT)
Knowledge Media Institute, Berrill Building, The Open University, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom, MK7 6AA

Our current knowledge about learning and about the use of technology in education has contributed to our understanding about learning that is taking place in schools and how technology can be effectively used in learning processes. In this presentation it is argued that schools are not contributing to help students to develop lifelong learning skills. Also, the development of these skills is related to people's attitude towards learning rather than what technology is used in education. Besides discussing these issues, a teacher training on-line course is presented, which integrates different types of digital technologies and activities to help teachers to acquire lifelong learning skills.
