CHALLENGES AND POSSIBILITIES OF COMPARATIVE VIDEO RESEARCH

Room K113, K1 Floor
Minerva, Siltavuorenpenger 5A
University of Helsinki

CICERO Learning is organising a theme day on comparative video research as part of its 2011 Video in Research on Learning and Education summer school course. The volume of comparative international research on teaching and learning as well as the impact of teaching is growing continuously. The influences and challenges of this type of research are discussed vividly among researchers and policy makers.

The theme day will start with keynote talks by Professor James W Stigler and Professor David Clarke. In the afternoon, a panel of Finnish experts will elaborate on the themes raised earlier during the day and share their own experiences and viewpoints with the audience.

The event is free of charge, no registration required and everyone is welcome to attend!
