Researchers

TELeurope is the social media hub for everything about technology-enhanced learning research and development. The community platform was created by the European open network of excellence in technology-enhanced learning STELLARNET.EU.

If you have a stake in technology-enhanced learning research, you may want to join this social network. As soon as you get your own TELeurope identity, make friends, join groups, and engage, a whole new universe of activity will be disclosed to you!

Here is a list of key documents and activities you might be interested in, if you are a researcher in technology-enhanced learning:

• Overview on the TEL vision and strategy: the final vision report (d1.8) of STELLAR, the EC-funded Network of Excellence, is now available. This is a synoptic report that provides you with an overview on the scientific activities of the network. It gives you an introduction into future research challenges.
• Collection of TEL Grand Challenge problems: interact with the challenge database in the box below. Hit the big ‘+’ button to unfold. Once logged in, you can also provide your personal rating – or comment.
• Research and Technology Trends: click here for trends in connecting (d1.2), orchestrating (d1.5), and contextualising (d1.7).
• The STELLAR delphi study: click here (d1.6) to discover future directions for TEL and TEL research (includes Areas of Tension, Core Research Areas, and Grand Challenge Problems).
• Future scenarios: explore the summaries of the Meeting of Minds 2011 (d2.3) and the Meeting of Young Minds 2012 (2.5).
• Discover podcasts: the audio-visual archive of media recordings keeps growing, some of the strategicly collected interviews are summarised here (d2.4).
• Discover publications: click here to access the paper search engine (and see this report d6.6 to see, how it works).
• The Doctoral Community of Practice: if you are a next generation researcher, currently conducting your PhD, this group will help you find birds of your feather. Click here to access the synoptic report about next generation capacity building in TEL (deliverable d4.5 of STELLAR).

Grand Challenges in Technology-Enhanced Learning

Research challenges have helped to drive innovation beyond limits for a long time. Other than mere technology prizes, the STELLAR Grand Challenges deal with problems at the interface of social and technical sciences. They pose problems that can be solved only in interdisciplinary collaboration. History has shown us that focused campaigns in research and development can spark and coordinate global innovation.
