Information
Telecommunications, computer networks, multimedia technologies, and the World Wide Web have opened up entirely new ways of teaching and learning - across institutions, physical locations, countries, continents, and time zones. Students may work distributed worldwide and nevertheless interact in a virtual community. Academic programs are no longer provided by single institutions only but can be established by networked organizations like virtual universities or virtual faculties. Best-of-breed programs are created in the Internet by bringing together top experts from different schools in a virtual program. Powerful wireless technologies will accelerate these developments in the future.
Distance education is no longer a matter of "learning in isolation". Collaborative tools like discussion groups, chatrooms, videoconferencing, etc. support immediate interaction between students and teachers and among students in virtual communities. In-company training does not require traveling and physical presence but can be done at the workplace. Geographical locations of students and teachers loose importance. Education in the 21st century is shifting from "real" to "virtual". Physical classes are more and more replaced by virtual networks of students and teachers.
NL'2002 aims to bring together content providers, course developers, educators, persons responsible for academic programs or corporate education, platform and tools providers, researchers and system developers from academia and industry to exchange their ideas and experiences, to share the best practices and to foster further development in networked learning.
