Osa puheista propagandaa, osa aika yleisellä tasolla kulkevaa keskustelua.
Käytännön tasolla mieleen jäi Pearson -yrityksen esityksessä Oppimisresurssit (LMS, wiki, tweedit, jne) yhdistävä ratkaisu Equella.
Equellaa voitasi testata FUAS-virtuaalikampuksen kehittelyssä.
S2: What’s New in Learning Technologies?
Esityksessä kerrottiin eye tracking teknologiasta ja sovelluksista.
- Etelä-Afrikkalainen Yliopisto käyttäää tekniikkaa (erilliset lasit, joissa kamera) esim. web-sivujen käytettävyydenn arvioinnissa. Järjestelmä kerää logia missä osissa näkymää silmä viipyy. Tuon perusteella voidaan arvioida sivun käytettävyyttä.
- Lähitulevaisuudessa web-kameraan saadaan toiminto: jos silmä pysähtyy ruudulla tiettyyn kohtaan pidemmäksi aikaa avataan ko sanasta apuikkuna (käännös, lisäselvitys tms.) lukijalle automaattisesti.
S3: When Users Become Choosers: Self-Regulated Learning
Although students and teachers increasingly find their educational resources in the Cloud, educational institutions play a core role by offering all these in the context of a structured form.
Self-regulated learning and personal learning environments are closely linked to ensure an effective and efficient way of learning.
- Hans-Christian Schmitz, Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology (FIT) Germany,Advancing Self-Regulation in Workplachttp://www.online-educa.com/profile-1085
- Kirsten Veelo, SURFnet, The Netherlands Users Become Choosers: Personal Learning Environment that Integrate Campus Services and Self-Chosen Tools
- SurfNet on kehitellyt PLE-ympäristöä, joka integroitu jollakin tasolla LMS-järjestelmiin ja käyttäjä voi itse lisätä omia sovelluksia, vähän kuten iGoogle, mutta LMS-integraatiolla.

S1: Evolving a Learning Culture
Traditional pedagogical approaches and practices are being changed with the increasingly widespread use and acceptance of technological tools, which are recognised as enhancing the teaching and learning process.
Through new and innovative learning practices, individuals are able to take more ownership of their learning, increasing motivation and performance.
However, as learning practitioners, we must be aware of the need to continually adapt to be flexible and inclusive, as well as meet the needs of the next generation of learners.

1. An overview of OEB 2011
The 17th annual ONLINE EDUCA BERLIN, the world's largest e-learning conference for the corporate, education and public service sectors took place from November 30th to December 2nd, 2011, and with the theme of New Learning Cultures, the conference was fruitful ground for discussing, debating and exploring the technologies and trends that are driving formal and informal learning and training. With 2154 participants from 96 countries in attendance, the event featured scores of dynamic presentations and interactive sessions led by international e-learning experts, educators and corporate trainers.

2. Five big ideas that have shaped online learning
The evolution of e-learning over the past few decades has transformed teaching practices at universities to the extent that the humble online communities of the early 1990s are almost unrecognisable in today's cloud of social media and Internet access on demand. Keynote speaker Professor Huw Morris, Pro-Vice-Chancellor at the University of Salford in the UK, gave a speech entitled "Managed Learning Environments, Web 2.0, Cloud Nine and the Fantasy Palaces", and he spoke of the radical and subtle ways in which learning cultures have evolved over the past twenty-five years.

3. Showtime at OEB: the exhibition in review
The backdrop to each ONLINE EDUCA BERLIN is a bustling exhibition where participants are given a taste of new developments to come in the technology and e-learning arena. At OEB 2011, 89 exhibitors from 29 countries presented an assortment of new products and services including software for managed learning environments; language learning applications; tools for corporate learning and development; e-learning trends in higher education and everything in between. The exhibition complemented the conference sessions by bringing to life the multimedia innovations that are defining modern-day education and training in all spheres of society.

4. The push for new learning cultures in higher education
At Security & Defence Learning, a forum run alongside ONLINE EDUCA BERLIN on November 30th, 2011, dozens of participants gathered to hear researchers, security experts and military top brass expound on the developments in security training aimed at countering the emerging cyber threats brought on by today's new security environment. Alan Bruce, the director of Universal Learning Systems, a Dublin-based education, research and management consultancy, presented a paper entitled "Innovative Learning and the Impact of Crisis: threat, opportunity, and demographic time bombs". We later caught up with him for further insight into what it will take for universities to adapt to the times and how his company approaches workplace training.

5. Igniting the future of workplace learning
OEB 2011 saw the introduction of a new session format: Ignite. Part of the Business EDUCA programme, the Ignite session, entitled Preparing for the future of learning at work, brought participants together to talk about business issues in an innovative, energising and fun way.
Developed in 2006 by Brady Forrest of O'Reilly Media, and Bre Pettis of Makerbot.com, the Ignite session allows speakers just 5 minutes to deliver their presentation accompanied by 20 slides, each of which is automatically advanced after 15 seconds. This challenging format requires speakers to clarify their thinking and to present their arguments concisely and effectively.

6. Cultivating the imagination and developing new cultures of learning
At OEB 2011, Douglas Thomas, author of "A New Culture of Learning" and professor at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Southern California, delivered a keynote speech about cultivating the imagination and the developing new cultures of learning. Prior to delivering his keynote speech, Douglas Thomas spoke to OEB about his view of new cultures of learning, the relationship between technology and our behaviour, and the move towards a participatory culture.

7. The student becomes the teacher: Young scholars take to the stage
One of the sessions generating lively discussion and divergent views was Student Perspectives. The format was introduced in 2005, and it has proved popular for its style, substance and focus on youth voices. Chaired by Gunnar Brückner of coachingplatform Inc, last year's session looked at how university students around Europe are using technology to enhance their education experience. Having grown up in a wireless world, the use of technological tools is second nature to many students. So while the use of ICTs in education retains a sense of novelty for older users, the youth know of no other learning environment.

8. Planning ahead for a new learning culture
Saudi Arabia has embarked on a twenty-year strategic plan to increase the citizenry's participation in higher education and to turn the country into a knowledge-based society. Making this migration necessarily entails an overhaul of dated educational paradigms and the adoption of e-learning practices in formal and informal training. Saudi Arabia's Deputy Minister for Educational Affairs, Dr Mohammad Al-Ohali, spoke to OEB about the country's vision and the specific strides they are taking to build their expertise from the ground up.
