Learners and learning are two concepts at the heart of the 6th international ICTT conference: Learners and their new expectations from ICTTs. It focuses on 21st
century learners and on the process of building up knowledge and
skills. These learners regularly use digital products and services.
They are IT literate, regular users of the social web, mobile
technologies and instant messengers, international bloggers and image,
sound and video clip consumers and are also initiated in console
electronic games and on-line gaming.
Stemming from the New Millennium Learner concept put forward by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (http://www.oecd.org),
ICTT 2008 aims to look into current teaching practices in higher
education and businesses, particularly those based on developing
systems, services and usages related to the integration of Information
and Communications Technologies for Teaching. ICTT 2008 provides an
insight into learning and its underlying conditions in a digital
environment of two conflicting generations with different cultures:
that of the digital immigrant, a teacher-designer from a television
culture and that of the digital native, a learner-user from an Internet
and electronic game culture.
ICTT 2008 provides researchers, professors, experts and learners with a
platform for exchanges on research and practices which are firmly
geared towards learners and learning in a digital environment. It aims
to spark off the pooling of methods, techniques and tools at the
foundation of innovative technology teaching putting learners and their
new expectations at the very heart of ICTTs and thus to highlight the
experiences and practices which can illustrate this point.
