Nordic Conference for Educational Publishers and EdTech

On the first day of the conference, we will focus on how technical learning analysis can contribute to more adapted learning for the pupils. Through registration, collection, analysis, and reporting of contextualized student data, where the goal is to better understand and improve the learning process, we meet many new challenges and possibilities. This can potentially affect the market’s eco system and and the relationship between public and private responsibilities. We will look at how different projects can affect the coexistence and the competition between them.

On the second day of the conference, we will focus on the traditional educational publishing. We will discuss digital maturity and how we can secure a development of learning materials where the learning itself, and not the digitalization is the main focus. We will find out if we have something to learn from the digitalization of the media industry and get insights into recent research on hybrid classrooms and how the different formats affect the design of learning. The day will end with a panel discussion on the way forward and how we can avoid the obvious obstacles.The following questions will be discussed:

• How can the eco-system for digital learning both fulfill the needs of pupils, teachers and schools, and at the same time be attractive and sustainable to publishers and EdTech-developers?
• How can learning analytics improve learning and the social environment in which learning takes place?
• Which education policy promotes good learning and access to high quality multi modal learning materials?
• What does the disruptive digitalization in the media industry teach us?
• How are learning materials used in Nordic classrooms?
• What are the recent developments in the nordic markets?
• … and much more

The host for the conference will be the journalist, moderator and author Hilde Sandvik.
