Designing Learning in the Digital Age - Digital Capability

Designing Learning in the Digital Age - Digital Capability | Professional learning | Scoop.it
Workshop and Webinar Program Wednesday 13 March 2013 at Rydges Melbourne, 186 Exhibition Street WHO SHOULD COME? Educators and those supporting the education process from any sector (schools, VET, Higher Ed) that want to see change in the way education is delivered, and who see the value of networked learning. It is expected that participants will already have skills in the use of educational and mobile technologies, and social media. You don't have to be a guru, but you'll need to know the difference between a hashtag and an asterisk, between following and being followed on Twitter, and ideally be used to creating and sharing content and/or media on the open web.
