Next Week: Open ComDev Seminar in Capetown

The Glocal Classroom is one of Ørecomm‘s more recently started projects. Funded by Malmö University and STINT  it takes on the subject of web-based pedagogy and interaction.

Ørecomm co-director Oscar Hemer and Mikael Rundberg, teachers at the ComDev master’s programme at Malmö University, are two of the key persons behind the project. With more than ten years’ experience of mediating campus based seminars to online students, they have set out to share and develop these experiences with three partner universities, through a world series of seminars that can be followed either onsite or online.

Stellenbosch Seboka – 25-26 March

The first seminar is hosted by Stellenbosch University, South Africa, and takes place 25-26 March 2014. The seminar holds the theme ‘Transforming Education Through Technological Innovation’ and will focus on the application of ICTs in teaching and learning.

ComDev Seminar at RLabs – 28 March

While in South Africa, the Malmö University ComDev team is also taking the opportunity to organise a seminar in collaboration with RLabs in Capetown. RLabs was founded in 2008 as an environment for community driven innovation and reconstruction, empowering people to make a difference in the lives of others.

The programme includes speakers such as Marlon Parker – founder of RLabs, entrepreneur and advocate for using Technology for Social Good, and Jillian Reilly – consultant, writer and public speaker focusing on developing world issues.

The seminar takes place on 28 March 2014, and will be live-streamed. For more information and the full programme, look here.

This is not to be missed!
