Learning Without Frontiers Summit Cancelled

Learning Without Frontiers Summit Cancelled | Studying Teaching and Learning | Scoop.it

It is with sincere regret that we must inform our community that the Learning Without Frontiers Summit in London will not now take place this June.

You don’t need us to remind you of the current challenges facing the economy in general, and education in particular. But sadly, due to this unusually difficult economic environment we have been unable to secure sufficient commercial sponsorship support for LWF London early enough to be certain that we could run a superb event to the exacting standard we expect. We have spent eight years gaining the trust of this community and, in simple terms, we do it right, or not at all.

 
Stewart-Marshall's insight:

Great shame  it had to be cancelled :-(

Are Books Doomed? The Rise of E-Reading [INFOGRAPHIC]

Are Books Doomed? The Rise of E-Reading [INFOGRAPHIC] | Studying Teaching and Learning | Scoop.it
The tactile pleasure of worn pages between your fingers is hard to replace. But when it comes to encouraging people to embrace the written word, e-readers trump their physical counterparts.

Before you scoff, consider this: From December 2011 to January 2012, e-reader ownership nearly doubled, from 10 percent to 19 percent, among American adults. And that stunning surge in just one month’s time doesn’t even account for tablets or other mobile electronic devices people use to read books and longform content. Worldwide, meanwhile, e-reader sales rose by nearly 3 million between 2010 and 2011.
