Last week CIC’s Simon Knight attended the 12th International Conference of the Learning Sciences (ICLS) in Singapore. The conference theme “Transforming Learning, Empowering Learners” brought a focus onto design features of pedagogy and the empowerment of students to design their own social futures through participation in their global world. The conference brought together practitioners and researchers with interests in instruction and learning as well as learning technologies and learning analytics. See Simon’s blog post for more thoughts on the event, and slides from Simon’s talk below.
