Concept map workshop from ULU Meeting
We held a workshop in March with an interesting and vibrant mixture of teaching practitioners, learning technologists and information professionals from both the UK and Mexico. Our attendees were both domain experts in the area of language teaching and learning and speakers of a range of languages from French, German, Russian, Spanish and Swedish amongst others.
After some introductory talks by Dave Millard and Yvonne Howard, we explored the CLAReT concept map in detail in conjunction with some activities. Discussions around the concept map were certainly lively and informative, particularly areas concerning grammar, themes, learning strategies and cultural awareness. Issues relating to repository interfaces were also discussed during the day, as a natural extension of the conversation.
Kate Dickens gave a talk on the research work of eLanguages, and Dave Milllard gave feedback on the workshop activities and new web 2.0 websites such as Flickr and Del.icio.us.
Our concept map is now undergoing further revisions to reflect the input give during the workshop. We would just like to extend our thanks to all of those that gave their time and invaluable expertise.
