PALETTE project & PROLEARN, the Network of Excellence in Technology Enhanced Learning for Professionals, now working under the umbrella of the EATEL Association are pleased to announce their joint Summer School from June 15 to 21, 2008 at Ohrid, FYR of Macedonia.

The Summer School will bring together PhD students with experienced researchers from PALETTE, PROLEARN, or from top international institutions in or across the scope. 

Our ambition is to foster cross-domain training and collaboration opportunities among researchers in Europe and beyond, working in the disparate fields of expertise which promote the advancement of TEL at the workplace. The programme includes lectures and working sessions from leading professors in the field, tutoring, mentoring, and joint research opportunities. Additionally the school will offer practical sessions in research methodology for Technology Enhanced Learning. Advanced PhD students will be identified to present their research at the Third European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning in Maastricht, The Netherlands, September 17-19, 2008 (http://www.ectel08.org), and to participate in EATEL thematic workshops.
