ISEA2010 Education Workshop
August 26, 2010
Volkschule Dortmund
13:00-14.30 15:00-16.30
The future of education? Novel incentives, emerging trends & hybrid practice.
Introduction by Roy Ascott (uk)
Coordinated by Nina Czegledy (ca/hu)
In the ISEA2010 Education Workshop the
identification and discussion of specific key
educational issues initiates the open exchange
between educational experts and workshop
participants. Roy Ascott's introduction on
pioneering platforms for PhD studies forms the
base for the exchange. The contribution by
educational experts is focused on learning
methods and accreditation, including PhD studies
and novel incentives leading to hybrid learning
and interdisciplinary practice.
In recent years more and more academic
institutions require lecturers with advanced
degrees; yet obtaining these qualifications
remains a problem in several countries of
continental Europe - leading to fierce debates on
educational circumstances. What is our role in
this environment and how do we proceed? Roy
Ascott's Planetary Collegium initiative is a
remarkable example of a pioneering international
platform for PhD studies. His introduction to the
ISEA2010 Education Workshop forms the base of the
discussion on the complexity of these issues.
These complexities include numerous significant
items including packaged e-learning, various
business models and social technologies for
higher education etc., Within the scope of this
workshop however the discussion is focused
predominantly on various aspects of PhD studies
and hybrid learning.
To unpack the monopoly of higher educational
methods by academia, hybrid learning is also
investigated in the ISEA2010 Education Workshop.
A palpable tension exists between academic and
hands-on education, yet from Bogotá to Budapest
an increasing number of professionals are deeply
involved in the convergence of networked
communication, arts& science & technology
projects, environmental issues and urban space.
The explosion of this new ecology has not been
pre-planned; it is mainly due to a tremendous
interest by the emerging generation, whose daily
reality has profoundly changed and is often in
conflict with certain rigid educational concepts.
Workshop Leaders/Discussants:
Peter F. Stephan (de) Bernd Robben (de) Bettina Schuelke (au/fi)
