The AER encourages its member regions to take an active part in “Learning in the Age of Industry 4.0.” This annual conference is organised by the European Association for Practitioner Research on Improving Learning (EAPRIL). Submit your proposal by 1st April!
As part of the Skillnet project, AER members have the opportunity to share innovative practices from their region at “Learning in the Age of Industry 4.0” that will take place from 23-26 November in Kufstein (Tyrol, AT).
About the Conference
The conference will provide a space for dialogue “on the opportunities provided through learning in the age of industry 4.0 and digitalisation in education.” Experts will discuss:
- How digitalisation and new digital technologies can be applied to education and learning;
- How and why modern technologies and methodologies in the age of industry 4.0 can cross/connect modern didactic concepts as well as types of education;
- How the development of smart products and digitalisation are changing our societies, particularly in the demand for new job profiles and skills.
