The OU+Web 2.0: A Near Futures Workshop (18-19 June 2008)

A message from the sponsors... ;-)

Workshop for OU Students, Associate Lecturers and Alumni interested in Web 2.0

As part of the OU's SociaLearn project, you are invited to attend a workshop to contribute your views on what the OU could/should look and feel like in a Web 2.0 world.

We are bringing together web-savvy OU Students, Alumni and Associate Lecturers to discuss the potential and the pitfalls of learning, mentoring, and doing business on the Open, Social, Free and For-Fee Web.

  • What are the characteristics of web-native learners, and what tools do they want/need?
  • What new learning/business opportunities - and risks - are opened up by social networking and media sharing tools?
  • What do you think of the prototype tools that we will preview?
  • Do we need to reframe our ideas of learning?
  • What is the OU, once many of its current services are disaggregated to specialist providers on the Web?

If interested, please email SociaLearn with a brief statement of your background, and what you would hope to add to these discussions.

On confirmation of your place, you will receive a briefing pack and travel directions. All accommodation, food and reasonable travel costs are covered. The day will run from noon on 18 June - noon 19 June in or near Milton Keynes.
