Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path

The Centre for Distance Education at the University of London has held an annual conference under the ‘RIDE’ strapline almost every year since its institution in 2005. These meetings have become a popular fixture in academics’ and learning technologists’ calendars in and beyond London, and this year’s, held at Senate House on Friday March 24th, was very well received. It was ably chaired by two CDE Fellows, Stylianos Hatzipanagos of King’s College London and Alan Tait from the Open University, and the programme included speakers from as far afield as the Universities of Plymouth and Lorraine (France) as well as many home-grown London ones.
