5th International Independent Learning Association Conference

The 5th International Independent Learning Association (ILAC) Conference returns to Aotearoa/New Zealand having been previously hosted in Hong Kong, Japan, and Australia. It will be a forward-looking conference that draws on developments in learning and teaching technology and blends these with some good old fashioned face-to-face discussion and debate.

Venue

Victoria University of Wellington

About the conference

The conference theme is: Autonomy in a Networked World: Te Tū Motuhake i te Ao Kōtuitui.

Through this, ILAC 2012 will be a chance to frame learner autonomy in today’s world, to consider where we are now, and to think about where we are going.

Conference participants are invited to share their thoughts, research findings and practice in order to illuminate the relationship between the individual learner and the learning opportunities afforded by ever-changing learning environments.

The conference sub-themes are intended to capture dimensions of this relationship: the personal, social and cultural identity of the learner, the self and the ‘other’ as agents of learning, the learning environment, and the role of assessment for the autonomous learner.
