| 1. The 2010 PLE Conference in Barcelona in retrospective |
| The PLE Conference in Barcelona was intended to produce a space for researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas, experience and research around the development and implementation of PLEs including the design of environments, sociological and educational issues and their effectiveness and desirability as (informal) learning spaces.
We believe that with everyone’s contribution and participation, we helped creating a different conference format, and we intend to keep future editions as innovative, open and creative as 2010’s. Thanks for your help!
Here are some voices of conference participants:
“Congratulations to the PLE_BCN team for organising a great event in Barcelona – fabulous venue, interactive sessions, interesting people (with over-large egos refreshingly absent) and lovely food.” (Lisa Harris, Lisaharrismarketing.com)
“For me and many others who attended (both physically and virtually) was probably the most connected event we have experienced.” (Steven Wheeler, Learning with the ‘e’s)
“The PLE Conference was an amazing experience for me as a member of the organizing committee and as a participant at the same time.” (Ilona Buchem, mediendidaktik 2.0)
“The PLE Conference is, without any doubt, one of the more interesting projects/events/situations I have been involved ever.” (Linda Castañeda, Mushware educativo)
“This was a great event, full of ideas and experimentation, in a very informal atmosphere that provided great chances for interesting conversations and sharing.” (José Mota, S/R) |

| 4. PLE_SOU: The PLE Conference Southhampton 2011 |
| Following the highly successful inaugural event in Barcelona (#PLE_BCN), the next PLE Conference will be held at the University of Southampton (#PLE_SOU) from July 6th – 8th 2011. The PLE Conference 2011 is intended to produce a space for researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas, experience and research around the development and implementation of PLEs – including the design of environments and the sociological and educational issues that they raise. Whilst the conference includes a traditional research paper strand, we also encourage proposals for sessions in different formats including workshops, posters, debates, cafe sessions and demonstrations.
The organisers welcome ‘expressions of interest’ from anyone who might like to:
· Suggest an appropriate keynote speaker
· Join the conference committee
· Champion a relevant theme or workshop
We aim to sustain the dynamic and interactive discussion environment established by the opening event in Barcelona in 2010. You can see more details about the Call for Contributions here |
