The future of e.learning is an endeavour spread all over the world

Some congress where LRE /EGO-CreaNet think to participate are the
following:
www.reduc.edu.cu/valores/index.htm

Paper of P.Manzelli & Colleagues on : " The changing of values of
education in the transformation between
industrial society in the world wide incoming knowledge society."

http://www.eslared.org.ve/  - Invitation to the"panel"on Inet2004 in 

Barcellona -  Paper of P.Manzelli and Colleagues on : "Rethinking the knowledge
management for sharing e.govern best practices
and growing up criteria of evaluation of Intangible Assets in the World
Wide Development"

------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would remember that the LRE/EGO create Educational Innovation
Research  is based on the following issues about renewing the e.learning
strategies:

a) The most important of  contemporary developments in e . learning is
How people learn: brain, mind, experience.

The contemporary advances in the study of e.learning sees in
contemporary Neuroscience the possibility  to provide evidence for many
strategies of new e. learning creative development , that have emerged
from neurological research, where through Functional NMR ,  it is
showing how learning systems and modalities  the use of memory processes
changes the physical structure of the brain and, with it, the functional
organisation of the mind.

Therefore  in LEFO-WEB ( IT ) http://www.narnia.it/lefo/ , we start to
open a section on BRAIN & MEMORY , (now in Italian) that can  make 
possible to create innovative curricula at the elementary schooling all
over the world. In fact developmental Educational Research of
EGO-CreaNET / LRE  have shown that young children understand a great
deal about basic principles of biology and genetics, and that these
capabilities make it possible to create innovative curricula that
introduce important concepts for advanced reasoning at early ages. (see
:http://www.descrittiva.it/calip/dna/
http://www.circolodidattico-grumonevano.it/)

b)  Educational Research of LRE/EGO-CreaNET  has also uncovered
important principles and methods  for structuring Mutual learning
experiences that enable people to share and use  what they have learned
in new settings of  NETWORKING e.LEARNING (NET-Learning strategies).

As a matter of facts "Mutual Learning or Net-learning "  is more
adequate for  person permanent to adult person  and Net learning it is
also connected with the changes of work in "e.team-work" and for
enterprises in "networking knowledge management innovation"  for growing
up Digital or Virtual  enterprises in an extended Knowledge Society
In this case the integration among sociological and  economical research
has increased understanding of the nature of competent performance and
the principles of knowledge management reorganization that underlie
Intangible Assets  ( i.e. human resource and social capital) to develop
skills and and abilities  to solve and or to save problems p in a world
wide variety of areas, of the  post-industrial society named KNOWLEDGE
SOCIETY.

Within the new Year (2004) the EGO-CreaNET telematic Association would
improve the"VIA" ( Virtual International Agency).

http://www.chim1.unifi.it/group/education/FoundationEGOvia.pdf

This new  initiative  borns now  for developing collaborative studies
both : a) on emerging interactive technologies ( for instance ; mobile
devices , and wireless Web- communication .. and so on )  and b) on
innovative educational & cognitive research ,  aiming to  re-designing 
"e.learning and hence e.governmental environments",  whitin a world
wide  co-operation  yielding new integrated knowledge about the nature
of learning and teaching as it takes place in a variety of settings  at
different levels of educational pour poses , in any case  looking to the
the transformation of Industrial society in the post industrial
knowledge society.

I hope you can be interested in such co-operation promoted through EGO-CreaNET VIA

for giving  an important 
contribution in  accelerating and improving the KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY
DIMENSION all over the world.

My best wishes for an HAPPY NEW YEAR. Paolo Manzelli FIRENZE 02 /DEC/2004 .
