Explore Fremantle

Fremantle | Walyalup, affectionately known as ‘Freo,’ offers Conference attendees a vibrant and culturally rich experience just a 30-minute drive from Perth’s CBD. This bohemian town is not only filled with art galleries, restaurants, and cafés but also hosts the bustling Fremantle Markets and one of Australia’s first micro-breweries. Savour fresh seafood harborside, dine in historic buildings, or unwind on the beach while watching Indian Ocean sunsets. Explore Freo intimately on a walking tour with a local guide, passing buskers, performers, and street art. History enthusiasts can visit the WA Maritime Museum and the World Heritage-listed Fremantle Prison. Outside the city center, discover gorgeous beaches, walking and cycling trails along the river’s edge, offering a perfect blend of culture, creativity, and cuisine for attendees.

Check out the StudyForge sessions on the symposium program: 5 Updates You Need to Make to Your Online Course Because of ChatGPT – Richard Bitgood Large Language Models (LLMs) like chatGPT are impacting education immensely, and especially in the realm of asynchronous online learning. The “written reflection”, which used to be the gold standard for ensuring academic integrity, is much less effective in the AI era. AI detectors are unreliable. Should LLMs be banned? Allowed in moderation? Encouraged in certain contexts? How can we police it? These are the questions we are wrestling with as online educators. In this session we will share how the StudyForge team is adjusting their curriculum in response to LLMs in order to spark practical ideas that you can apply to your online course today. 5 Crucial Mistakes to Avoid When Blending Your Program – Alex Donkersgoed This session will identify 5 mistakes to avoid when implementing a blended classroom for the first time.

Note the end of the day in Europe comes early for us folks in North America.

View this email in your browser Last Day! Early Bird Registration Closes Today, April 15 EDEN DLE 2024 Annual Conference at University of Graz, Austria, 16-18 June Learning in the Age of AI: Towards Imaginative Futures EDEN 2024 Annual Conference will be held at University of Graz, Austria, 16-18 June. The conference theme is “Learning in the Age of AI: Towards Imaginative Futures”. We invite you to join us in a thoughtful exploration of the rapidly evolving landscape of education, as we adapt to the ever-increasing presence of AI and digital systems. Our experiences in the journey with AI are still young and can be described as stories of trial and error, so sharing our experiences, expectations and hopes is vital. The digital revolution has ushered in exciting, promising, and imaginative changes, but it is also testing our beliefs about learning and education. Keynote and Spotlight Speakers Register Now! Conference Thematic Fields How do we promote fairness in digital learning futures? What is required to help foster nestedness and integration in the complex digital learning ecosystem?  What does learner-centered pedagogy look like in reimagining the digital classroom of the future? What digital transformations are needed for learning and teaching in the future? Discover Graz, Austria The sights of Graz – this doesn’t just mean Schlossberg, Kunsthaus or different architecture. This diversity and creative vision are the reason why Graz was named a UNESCO City of Design. Therefore, the city now officially belongs to their international network of forward-looking places. There are only ten other cities in the world to have received this award and who can now call themselves a “City of Design”, including Berlin, Montreal and Buenos Aires. The “City of Design” title reflects the active attitude and expression of an urban culture, focusing on conscious design of the city environment as a central value. In Graz this can be seen not only in the spectacular architecture of recent years – such as the Kunsthaus, Murinsel, botanical gardens, university buildings, and much more. It above all demonstrates enormous potential in very different disciplines. PhD Symposium The EDEN 2024 PhD Symposium will be organized in the frame of the conference. The Symposium, held in previous years in Barcelona (2018), Bruges (2019), Dublin (2019), Timisoara (2020), Lisbon (2020), Madrid (2021), Tallinn (2022) and Dublin (2023) has been designed to foster the exchange of experiences and knowledge among doctoral students conducting research in the area of technology enhanced online, digital, open and distance learning, and provides a valuable forum for the advancement of doctoral research. The Symposium is open to all doctoral students, both PhD and EdDs, and will be led by the host university with contributions from EDEN Management Board members and a panel of international experts. EDEN Best Research Paper Award in cooperation with The UNESCO Chair in Education and Technology for Social Change EDEN Best Research Paper Award competition is based on evaluation results on submission of Full Papers presented to the Annual Conference. The decision on the winner of the EDEN Best Research Paper Award will be announced on June 17th at the EDEN Annual Conference Gala Dinner in Graz, Austria.
