volitional literacy – Olli Vesterinen

DREAM conference in Odense

Greetings from Odense, Denmark! (photo: Albani brewery’s artistic smokestack)

Olutpanimon piippu Odensessa

Several great keynote speakers – some with more to say, some with a bit less to say.

I had two presentations:

>> Stimulated Recall in Media Education Research

>> The Characteristics of Volition in Media Literacy

The latter had some extra kick from the latest issue of Educational Technology where our article was published.

EDEN 2007 conference

In Naples 13th – 16th of June

–> My presentation about the cycle of media education and volitional literacy
(see our abstract too; the paper is together with Heikki Kynäslahti and Seppo Tella)

–> Some notes in a concept map

–> A few photos (sorry about the poor quality)

The town wasn’t as nice as in postcards but the conference seemed to focus on important questions (which I probably couldn’t get too well into my Notes cmap; please see keynote speakers’ entries: Erik Duval, Teemu Arina). Hopefully I get a chance to participate next the European Distance and E-Learning Network’s Annual Conference too.
