Sakai community conferences have emerged as high-energy occasions for
extended face-to-face interactions between our community of designers,
developers, pedagogists, faculty, students, user support specialists,
system administrators, and educational technology managers. Sakai
conferences provide a welcoming and informative venue for all all
those interested in seeing what the Sakai community and software are
all about.
The 2008 Sakai Community Conference will be held in Paris, France from
Tuesday July 1 through Thursday July 3, with pre-conference sessions
and activities on Monday, 30 June. All meetings and conference
sessions will be held at the Universite Pierre et Marie Curie in the
5th arrondissement--a spectacular location in the heart of one of the
world's great cities. The ever popular Sakai demonstrations will take
place on Wednesday evening, July 2nd, at the conference hotel, the
Marriott Rive Gauche, which is located nearby. A special reception,
hosted by the Executive Director of the Sakai Foundation, will be held
at the Marriott on Monday evening for all Sakai newcomers. If you're
relatively new to Sakai this is a great way to learn about how to get
the most out of the conference.
Diana Laurillard, Professor of Learning with Digital Technologies at
the London Knowledge Lab, Institute of Education, will deliver the
keynote address. Featured speakers include Fabrizio Cardinali, CEO of
Giunti Labs and Chair of the European Learning Industry Group, James
Dalziel of Macquarie University and creator of LAMS, Wendy Mackay with
INRIA, Futurs at University Paris-Sud. With more than 140 sessions and
workshops it promises to be another terrific event.
Please visit the conference website (https://sakai.educonference.com/paris/index.php
) to see the preliminary schedule, register for the conference and
secure a room at the conference hotel (discounts available through
June 10). We look forward to seeing you in Paris!
