To be sure, please go to Timezone Converter Featured speaker Richard Harrison Short description of the presentation In recent years there has been a distinct convergence of socially-based theories of education and computing. In education we are seeing a shift away from individualised instruction to models based on collaborative learning. This is now finding its way into language learning in general. On the technology side, the relatively new field of Social Computing is beginning to affect the way people around the world interact with one another through new networked technologies that can enable people to work collaboratively irrespective of time and location. I will discuss how these developments in educational theory and technology can and are being harnessed for Japanese language education, with reference to ongoing projects that are making use of these technologies against the backdrop of social-based learning. What is going to happen? Richard sensei's paper is at http://www.geocities.jp/rickoharrison/senseionline_paper.html So read the paper above and go to TAPPED IN with the new interface. There, you will be able to discuss this topic with Richard sensei and others from around the world. TAPPED IN is open to everybody and the presentation will be done in English.
