Just found about this one today. From the looks of it this should be one hell of a conference. It’s about Online Educa Berlin 2006 – 12th International Conference on Technology Supported Learning and Training, which runs from November 29 to December 1, 2006.
A list of theme’s:
- Designing Effective Online Learning
- Game-Based Learning and Simulations
- Quality Standards
- Emerging Tools and Community-Based Services
- Sector Specific Approaches
- Lifelong and Informal Learning
- Performance Based Assessment
- Promoting Inclusivity
- The Impact of ICT in Schools
- Higher Education and the Impact of ICT
- ICT Supported Training in Companies
- E-Learning in the Public Sector
On the website I found they are really into social software too. There is even a Podcast lab! Go check it out.
I spotted around 8-10 people from the Netherlands on the list of participants, including Lilia Efimova from the Mathemagenic weblog.
Wouldn’t it be fun just to look around at these conferences? If I only had the time…

The unconference Bloggercon IV is already two weeks behind us, but I am still enjoying the recordings you can find at the official website.
There are actually 14 of these recordings and I guess they make up for a total of around 12 hours of entertainment and education. It is really fun to listen to a lot of smart people discussing topics like citizen journalism, making money from blogging and video blogging.
What is also very handy is that during the conference Doc Searls created an outline of each session (you can hear him typing on his laptop sometimes during the sessions).
One of the sessions that made a very great impression on me was the Emotional Life session led by Lisa Williams. The central theme of the session was “Why do you blog?” and this brought up some nice and emotional thoughts.
The latter was especially the case when someone from the audience (Terry) shared the experience he had when blogging about the death of his young wife and support he got from out of the Blogoshere. In his words “the community held me up” and “the blogosphere is a community, a social phenomenon more than a tech phenomomenon”. Through my headphones I could hear how the emotion of that moment silenced the audience…
Still have some sessions to go. It’s highly recommended, if you can find the time.
