Learning without Limits

We are gearing up to host the 4th Plymouth e-Learning Conference in a few weeks time, and with over 200 delegates already registered, and more than 80 presentations, workshops and demonstrations on offer, it promises to be a memorable event. But even before this event is put to bed, we already have the theme and title for PELC 2010. And yes, the eagle-eyed will note that I have borrowed a little from one of my heroes, Sir Arthur C. Clarke. The first call for papers for PELC 2010 will be out soon with the eye catching space motif. The full title for the 5th Conference which will be held in Plymouth on 8-9 April 2010, is 'Learning without Limits: Facing the Challenges', and here's your first sight of the conference theme:

The theme for the 5th Plymouth e-Learning Conference – Learning without Limits - will address the notion of anytime, anyplace learning. It will highlight the growing number of contexts in which learning can take place. We will focus on the challenges and opportunities brought by formal and informal learning, social networks and personal technologies, mobile learning and innovative on-campus education, virtual and real teaching & learning scenarios, and how teachers and learners are harnessing the power and potential of new and emerging technologies.

As in previous years the conference welcomes proposals for papers, workshops, symposia and demonstrations from across all sectors of education and training, focused on topic areas such as:

• Emerging Learning Technologies
• Classroom Learning Technology
• New Pedagogies and Practices
• Mobile Learning, Ambient and Pervasive Technologies
• Games for Learning
• 3D Multi User Virtual Environments
• Social Web and Social Networking
• Multi-Media
• Digital Literacy
• Digital Identity

So, if you are not able to make this year's event, we hope to see you in Plymouth for 2010. Start writing your proposal now, and .... book early!
