Complexity & Pedagogy: Shanghai workshop

I have just spent an extraordinary week in Shanghai in an intensive workshop designed by and for complex systems thinkers, to reimagine educational systems (research and practice) as complex adaptive systems. I was feeding into future scenarios a complex systems perspective on current developments in learning analytics and collective intelligence technologies. The event was hosted […]

Complexity Science, Learning Analytics & Collective Intelligence

The European FET Flagships competition has the following mission: FET Flagships are ambitious large-scale, science-driven, research initiatives that aim to achieve a visionary goal. The scientific advance should provide a strong and broad basis for future technological innovation and economic exploitation in a variety of areas, as well as novel benefits for society. As part […]

Learning Analytics training workshop v1

Last week I joined 90 PhD students and about a dozen other academic tutors in a converted monastery in the hills above Girona, for the ICO 2012 Fall School. This brings together students from across Europe primarily, to present and discuss their research into education, in some cases involving learning technologies. I piloted a new […]
