Bar Camps - User-Generated Conferences
BarCamp is an international network of user generated conferences — open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants. The first BarCamps focused on early-stage web applications, and related open source technologies, social protocols, and open data formats. The format has also been used for a variety of other topics, including public transit, health care, and political organizing. (Source: wikipedia at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BarCamp).

Corporate Learning Trends and Innovation:
Posted April 15th, 2009 by maggieApril 21-22. Mark your calendar now
A week from today, Learntrends will host a series of conversations about how to improve learning in organizations. It’s a big topic, so we plan to keep the conversation going for 24 hours.
Come and go as you wish. There’s no sign-up required. Drop by at breakfast time, during a mid-morning break, at lunch, after dinner, or in the wee hours of the morning. Everyone is busy these days; join us when it’s convenient for you.
As is our tradition, Learntrends is online and free. We’ll be using the Elluminate platform for listening in and taking part in discussions. We’ll also be using Twitter as our back channel.
The event kicks off with conversations with George Siemens, Luis Suarez, Brent Schlenker, Ellen Wagner, Charles Jennings, Harold Jarche, Clark Quinn, Marcia Conner, and Nancy White, along with many others you probably know by reputation. They’ll be talking about networked intelligence, case studies of what works, new roles for learning pros, making informal learning concrete, and real-time learning with Twitter.
Then the event turns more informal. Tell us what you want to talk about and we’ll put it into the agenda. We’ve set aside ten hours for short talks, Q&A, and joint problem-solving. Think of it as wandering into our living room to chat about whatever concerns you.
We’re all volunteers here. We need your help in three areas:
1. We need people to moderate the conversations on Elluminate from 0:00 to 10:00 Greenwich Mean Time.
2. Volunteer to lead a 20-minute discussion on a topic you or others suggest.
3. Spread the word. The more, the merrier. Tell your local contacts to join our global event.
Click the third tab here on the Learntrends site, April 2009 Event, for complete information.
We look forward to seeing you next week.

The 2nd International Symposium on Academic Globalization: AG 2009
Posted January 17th, 2009 by maggiePurpose
The 2nd Symposium on Academic Globalization: AG 2009, part of the Academic Globalization Project, is being organized in the context of WMSCI 2009, and its collocated conferences.
The purpose of AG 2009 is to bring together scholars, educators and practitioners with the objective of exploring, reflecting and sharing ideas with regards to the impact that the Globalization Phenomena is having or might have on universities (research, teaching and continuing education), and vice versa: the impact that academia is generating, or could generate on the phenomenon of globalization. Questions such as the following are examples of those that could be addressed at the Symposium in order to generate possible answers and/or reflections, as well as possible research:
