ISEA2010 Education Workshop

Volkschule Dortmund
13:00-14.30   15:00-16.30 


The future of education?  Novel incentives, emerging trends & hybrid practice.

Introduction by Roy Ascott (uk)

Coordinated by Nina Czegledy (ca/hu)

In the ISEA2010 Education Workshop the 
identification and discussion of specific key 
educational issues initiates the open exchange 
between educational experts and workshop 
participants. Roy Ascott's introduction on 
pioneering platforms for PhD studies forms the 
base for the exchange. The contribution by 
educational experts is focused on learning 
methods and accreditation, including PhD studies 
and novel incentives leading to hybrid learning 
and interdisciplinary practice.

In recent years more and more academic 
institutions require lecturers with advanced 
degrees; yet obtaining these qualifications 
remains a problem in several countries of 
continental Europe - leading to fierce debates on 
educational circumstances. What is our role in 
this environment and how do we proceed? Roy 
Ascott's Planetary Collegium initiative is a 
remarkable example of a pioneering international 
platform for PhD studies. His introduction to the 
ISEA2010 Education Workshop forms the base of the 
discussion on the complexity of these issues. 
These complexities include numerous significant 
items including packaged e-learning, various 
business models and social technologies for 
higher education etc., Within the scope of this 
workshop however the discussion is focused 
predominantly on various aspects of PhD studies 
and hybrid learning.

To unpack the monopoly of higher educational 
methods by academia, hybrid learning is also 
investigated in the ISEA2010 Education Workshop. 
A palpable tension exists between academic and 
hands-on education, yet from Bogotá to Budapest 
an increasing number of professionals are deeply 
involved in the convergence of networked 
communication, arts& science & technology 
projects, environmental issues and urban space. 
The explosion of this new ecology has not been 
pre-planned; it is mainly due to a tremendous 
interest by the emerging generation, whose daily 
reality has profoundly changed and is often in 
conflict with certain rigid educational concepts.
