Subject: [Emerge-l] Upcoming professional development opportunities
Dear colleagues,
I hope that your courses and projects are going well. This message is to inform you about three exciting professional development opportunities including two which allow for online participation. My next message to the e/merge Africa list will relate to e/merge Africa activities in 2013.
1) The Open University UK is offering a MOOC on Open Education starting on 16 March. This is part of a formal online Master's level course on Openness and Innovation in elearning and will run for 7 weeks. The MOOC has been written and will be convened by Martin Weller of the Open University. There is no charge for registration to the MOOC. Full information is available from the Open Education MOOC website.
2) The Learning Landscape Conference from 3-5 April in Cape Town brings together some of the key role players in the field of LEARNING in the Western Cape, to consider the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats regarding learning, and to share the tools and techniques that work. The aim is to get a grip on "Who's doing what?" and "What is the next great thing?" A powerful team of exciting speakers have been hand-picked for this landmark event. Topics include coaching, mobile learning, e-learning for systems training, using reflection for behaviour change, the heart and body as resources in learning, free mobile and online applications. Members of the e/merge Africa network can use a discounted early bird rate of R4500 until 15th March. Full information is available on the Learning Landscape website.
3) In May Etienne and Beverly Wenger-Trayner bring their four day BEtreat professional development workshops on networks, communities and social learning to South Africa. Etienne is best known for his seminal work on communities of practice and social learning theory. Bev is best known for her pioneering work in international settings, learning across boundaries, and the use of social media. This is the first time that these workshops have been offered outside the USA. The two four day workshops for professionals (14-17 May) and academics (20-23 May) will take place in the Fynbos Estate retreat near Cape Town. There are opportunities for online participation and early bird discounts for registration until 15 March. Full information is available on the BEtreat SA website.
Best wishes
:)
