Learning technologies and transnational research networks

Wednesday 18 October, 5.30 – 7pm  Learning Technologies for Transnational Research Networks Julian Study Centre, Room 2.02, UEA

The School of Education and Lifelong Learning presents a series of research seminars from five key speakers in the field of Education.  The first will be given by Dr Jude Fransman, Leverhulme Research Fellow at the Open University who will look at existing and innovative approaches to strengthening global research networks that now characterise our academic landscapes.

This seminar responds to a recent drive promoting large and complex (trans-national, cross-sectoral and mutli-disciplinary) research partnership to produce more relevant and impactful research. It argues that such partnerships might be improved by moving beyond institutions; beyond instrumentalism; beyond linear, short-term projects; beyond research production and communication; beyond traditional outputs; and beyond notions of ‘effectiveness’ and ‘success’ and explores the role of educational technologies in supporting these shifts.

Sandwiches and canapes will be provided at 6.30pm.  All seminars are free to attend and open to the public but booking is essential as places are limited. Please email: edu.support@uea.ac.uk
