Tori ITK-konferenssissa 14.-15.4.2016: Työelämätaitoja oikealla pedagogiikalla ja joustavalla digiteknologialla
ARONI-hankkeen teemoihin liittyvällä torilla kerrotaan kokemuksista ja käytännöistä, joita on käytetty lukioissa, ammatillisissa oppilaitoksissa ja korkea-asteella työelämätaitojen ja tietotyötaitojen tietotyötaitojen oppimisen edistämiseksi. Kokemukset perustuvat päättyvään EU-rahoitteiseen Promoting knowledge work practices in education -hankkeeseen (KNORK). KNORK-hankkeen kokemukset ja tulokset ovat osaltaan olleet ARONI-hankkeen taustalla erityisesti liittyen Helsingin yliopiston tutkimusryhmän tutkimuksiin.
Työelämätaitoja oikealla pedagogiikalla ja joustavalla digiteknologialla -torista on tarkempi esittely ITK 2016 -konferenssin sivuilla.
