Dear Internet Researchers, ((Forwarded via VIRTUAL-UNIVERSITIES Listserv)) Date: Wed, 7 Aug 2002 19:14:44 +0100 From: Ray Land <rayl@EDUCATION.ED.AC.UK> [--] * with apologies for cross posting * --------------------------------------------------- Ideas in Cyberspace Education Symposium Higham Hall, Lake District, England UK 30 October to 1 November 2002 Registration for the ICE symposium is now open. You can register online at: http://mcdept.qmuc.ac.uk/ice The emergence of the internet has introduced some fundamental challenges to the ways in which we understand notions of identity, community, knowledge itself. Cyberspace theory of recent years has provided fascinating insights into the changes we are experiencing culturally, socially and politically as a result of our shift online. These insights tend, however, to be under-represented in our explorations of the effects on education of using the new technologies. The aim of the symposium is to provide an opportunity to engage in a re-examination of educational experiences in cyberspace. The keynote speaker will be Mark Poster, author of 'The Information Subject' and 'What's the Matter with the Internet?' Further details are available from the symposium web site. Numbers are limited, so please book early!
