DESCRIPTION
In recent years, learning platforms have taken a central position in Dutch education. A learning platform itself is not enough for optimizing education. Besides powerful technology, a vision for the future and professional development are inseparable elements of a successful implementation. In this presentation Tim Remmers (Director of Services at itslearning Netherlands) shares the knowledge that the Dutch team constructed over the past years on implementing a learning platform in secondary education. A service-oriented approach versus an oil slick effect, emphasis on didactics rather than on technology, early adopters versus the late majority, levers of change, critical success factors ... All these concepts fall neatly into place in this presentation.
