We are looking forward to two exciting e-learning conferences: the seventh European MOOCs Stakeholder Summit (EMOOCs 2021) and Learning at Scale 2021 (L@S 2021) will be happening as online conferences.
Bringing together EMOOCs 2021 and Learning at Scale 2021 combines international, top-quality educational research with teaching practitioners, platform providers, policy-makers, and education businesses. We look forward to welcoming you to our “double” conference on 22-24 June, 2021!
Diverse Program
In the light of the coronavirus pandemic, the double conference will focus on the experiences that education providers around the world have made in switching from traditional face-to-face teaching to hybrid or fully online formats. Among others, leading representatives of the international learning platforms Coursera, edX and FutureLearn will report and answer questions online. Participants at the EMOOCs 2021/L@S conference will discuss the state of play in the dissemination of open online courses for all interested parties in Europe. Topics will include best practices in the production, quality assurance, and certification of such Massive Open Online Courses, but also the modernisation of higher education teaching, labour market aspects, marketing issues, and opportunities in the health sector.
Renowned Keynote Speakers
We are very happy to welcome renowned keynote speakers, who are set to cover a wide variety of topics. Gaya Gamhewage, head of learning and capacity development for WHO's health emergencies program will talk about how WHO managed to fight the pandemic through its knowledge transfer platform OpenWHO. Another highlight will be the keynote by physicist and complexity researcher Geoffrey West. He is the author of the 2017 work Scale: The Universal Laws of Life of Organisms, Cities and Companies. Georgi Dimitrov, who is responsible for the unit Digital Education in the European Commission, will introduce us to the Digital Education Action Plan. Jeff Maggioncalda, CEO of Coursera, will discuss the role of institutions in responding to the global skills crisis. Sanna Jarvela, from the University of Oulu, Finland, will take a look at how human capabilities and the development of new digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence, can go hand in hand with education. Last but not least, Eslami Motahhare from Carnegie Mellon University will take us into the world of algorithmic systems.
