Designs on eLearning Conference

The second Designs on E-Learning international conference in the use of technology for teaching and learning in art, design and communication will be hosted by the University of the Arts, London on the 12th - 14th September 2007.

Charles Saumarez Smith, the Director of the National Gallery will open the conference and Gráinne Conole Professor of e-Learning at the Institute of Educational Technology at the Open University will deliver the Keynote address.

The conference aims to cast light on established practice in the field, on innovations in teaching and learning with technology, on the challenges and successes presented by the visual nature of our discipline, and on the benefits of online and blended learning.

It aims to build on the success of Designs on eLearning 2005 and on the subsequent Online Conference and Symposium in disseminating and promoting good practice, primarily but not exclusively, in art, design and communication.
