2. WHO ARE WE?
3. We are a group of people who are preparing the next break through in technology enhanced learning

4. SO WHAT?
5. 5 Million EUR from the European Union, 6.4 Million EUR in total.
Well, we got substantial funding from the European Commission to (re-)structure the European Research Area in TEL.

8. AND LOTS OF FRIENDS :)
9. In fact, we have been spending two years now making lots of friends.
10. We call it: CAPACITY BUILDING.
11. Alpine Rendez-Vous 2011
12. SHAPING THE FUTURE
13. WITH GRAND CHALLENGES
14. Grand Challenges
Understandable & significantwith a clearly stated compelling case for contributing to long-term benefits for society
Challenging, timely, and achievable with concerted, coordinated efforts
Clearly useful in terms of impact and scale, if solved, with long-term benefits for many people and international in scope
Measurable and incrementalwith interim milestones that produce useful benefits as they are reached
15. Which problem?
Main activities required?
Timeframe?
Measurable progress and success indicators?
Which capacities/resources needed?

16. Neurosciences, Technology & Learning (ARV11)
Substantially improving motivation and learning of learners by systematically using game-based environments informed by our emerging understanding of the brains reward system
17. 18. Reduce the drop-out rate in online learning by 10% employing recommender systems for learning
Privacy, Data Protection, Surveillance in DataTEL:
The DataTEL research must address issues with respect to data protection (or other relevant) legislation compliance, concerns with respect to individual privacy, as well as problems arising from surveillance (social sorting, cumulative disadvantages)
data TEL (ARV11)
19. Exploring the Fitness and Evolvability of Personal Learning Environments (ARV11)
Instant formation of learning networks
One tutor per learner
20. Multiply effectiveness of your workforce
With the help of learning analytics that reflects and predicts all skills relevant
For having a flexible, adaptive, resilient, open, cooperative mindset
Thereby putting a soft skill focus on top of core knowledge

38. 'in tablet' learning experience
what do you dream of that is missing?
pedagogy and design for
the post pc world?
39. If TEL research could answer1 question for you
40. in the next 5 years
41. what would that question be?

43. 3rd STELLAR Delphi RoundVisionary Statements 5 Areas of Tension
Ubiquitous learning opportunities vs. Focused and critical processing of information
Digital divide despite technology spread
Data tracking for personalized learning vs. Data privacy
Approved practices vs. Continuous innovation in the classroom
Individual learning paths vs. Standardized learning paths
