COORDINATORS
MISSION STATEMENTSIG Instructional design brings together researchers who study the design and development of learning environments. Learning environments are conceived as contexts that aim at fostering learning. The contexts range from regular classrooms to highly sophisticated virtual reality environments. The key question discussed in the SIG pertains to the relationship between different features and outlooks of such environments on the one hand and learning processes and learning results on the other. Of particular importance is the mediating role of student variables.
ACTIVITIESSeptember 3-5, 2008
Salzburg, Austria
EARLI SIG 6 Instructional Design in cooperation with SIG 7 Learning and Instruction with Computers
announces the conference:
Beyond knowledge: the legacy of competence
Meaningful computer-based learning environments
Learning and instruction with computers is intrinsically tied to current educational practice in schools, universities, the corporate world and informal learning settings. Nevertheless, integration of technology in education is a sensitive task that has to be planned well in order to meet the needs of learners, teachers and educational objectives. Current changes in European education stress the role of competences and educational standards and their fostering within educational practice. Here, meaningful computer-based learning environments can contribute to achieve competence acquisition and to meet super ordinate educational standards. Contributions dedicated to empirical research (foundational as well as applied empirical research) within this area are encouraged. But also other contributions covering the area of learning and instruction with computers within schools, universities, the corporate world or informal learning settings are welcome.
Deadline for proposal submission: 1 March, 2008
