Dr Panos Vlachopoulos

Wednesday 23rd November 2011 7.00pm-8.00pm (UK time)

Dr Panos Vlachopoulos from the University of Aston will be joining us as our guest expert in the second of our TEL-Connect webinars. Panos will be discussing an approach to e-moderation which prioritises learner-directed learning.  We look forward to a discussion about the  pedagogical principals which underpin the 'ring-fenced learning arena', and to hearing about his experience with tools and activities which enable autonomous online learning.
