Estonia: school from education to learning space euni09tartu

Conference in Tartu from 2-3 April 09.
http://conference2009.e-uni.ee/index.php?n=en&do=20 is website for conference.
Estonian teachers in vocational and higher education gathered in Tartu for a conference with international speakers. So many shared problems, so many worries and fears around online learning, so many varying definitions.
My papers on the changing teacher role and the plasticity of the online environment can be found in next week or so from the conference website.
Have a look at LeMill – Estonian shared repository for teachers and trainers. www.lemill.net. Also used as social software. Links to world, and flickr etc!

Great hospitality from Estonian conference team – many thanks for great simultaneous translation, at social as well as conference sessions, good food, great company from other keynote speakers and the team.

What is all this talk of different cultures between IT Systems, academics, learning technologists? We seemed to have lots in common at the conference – overlapping interests in making learning happen. We do indeed have different career paths and different vocabularies. But we are not working for a hierarchical business (despite appearances). Universities have been diverse groupings of individuals with little in common for generations, but they work because of a common commitment. So can we.
