I’m delighted to announce that Professor Diana Laurillard, from the Institute of Education has agreed to give our first NetworkED seminar of 2012/13. Diana is world renowned in the educational technology field and the author of the book ‘Rethinking University Education‘. She also developed what is known as the ‘conversational framework’ which provides a model for embedding educational technologies into teaching. Those of you who have studied on LSE’s Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching in Higher Education will no doubt be familiar with her work.

Professor Laurillard will be speaking on the topic of ‘Teaching as a design science: developing reliable knowledge of learning technology’ to tie in with her book on this topic published earlier this year. The event is being held on Wednesday 10th October at 3pm. LSE staff and students should book if they wish to attend using the Training System. The event will be live streamed so open to anyone throughout the word to watch from their own computer. A recording will also be made of the session which will be available from our website a few days after the event. Further details are available from the NetworkED site.
