“Many people believe that the education system needs some changing if it’s going to produce the leaders of tomorrow. While there are failings in today’s system, to be sure, there are many people out there already working to change, adapt and reform educational programs. Here are some lectures to help you learn about what may be in store for the students of the future and the ways in which education may be changing for the better, utilizing new technology and working with the way we learn.”

John Cook has been invited to give a talk at a node of the ESRC funded National Centre for Research Methods (see below). The title of the talk is:

“E-Learning in its Element: Building Informal Learning and Research Capacity in Large Communities”

Date: Tuesday 10th Nov at the Work-Based Learning for Education centre, IoE.

ESRC funded National Centre for Research Methods. Its remit is to promote a “step change” in the use of innovative cutting edge research methods in the social sciences. It is funded on a Hub and Node model, with the Hub co-ordinating the activities of the Nodes. The Nodes are not working with university students, their constituency are social science researchers who tend to attend a short workshop, seminar or conference to learn about a particular new method, see below http://www.ncrm.ac.uk/about/organisation/Nodes/)
