The annual European Conference on Educational Research was held in Vienna in late September, 2009. Pontydysgu worked together with VETNET in a small project to provide a video and audio archive of the conference, which attracted over 2000 delegates. We undertook a series of interviews with keynote speakers, presenters and delegates to the conference. The aim of the project was not only to provide a digital record but to explore the use of new technologies to open up the ideas from the conference to a wider audience.
Over the next week we will be posting further videos and audio recordings to this page. In the meantime here is an initial selection of our work.
Many thanks to Maria Perifanou, who undertook many of the interviews, to Dirk Stieglitz who was technical director and to Jo Turner-Attwell and Emma Roso who undertook much of the hard work behind the scenes work in editing the material. Thanks to to Ludger Deitmer and Pekka Kämäräinen form VETNET and Angelika Wegscheider from EERA for their support for the project.
