Building Learning Communities 2011

Ewan McIntosh, CEO, Edu.blogs.com, Edinburgh, Scotland

Project-based learning has been let down in too many instances with “fake”, academic, theoretical problems that need solving. The learning processes involved are at best fuzzy for most educators: what is “collaboration”, “student-designed” and “student-led” learning?

• Learn from the creative practices of some of the best media and tech companies in the world, with whom Ewan McIntosh has spent the past three years.
• Find out what the independent and collaborative learning skills and processes these growing creative industries, and other business, require.
• Hear inspiring mini-talks, guest speakers joining virtually from around the world and participate in a series of highly engaging discussions and exercises.
