“Less Talk, More Action! Meeting Tomorrow’s Needs Today” was the heading under which UNESCO-UNEVOC participated in this year's ONLINE EDUCA on 5 December 2014 in Berlin. The plenary session, which also included Nick van Dam of McKinsey & Company and the e-Learning for Kids Foundation and Jeremy Auger, Chief Strategy Officer of Desire2Learn, highlighted the need for creating favourable contexts to enable corporate learning that supports innovation at the workplace.
Shyamal Majumdar, Head of the UNESCO-UNEVOC, spoke about the importance of integrating ICT in technical vocational education and training (TVET). “ICT has a crucial role in expanding access, improving quality and enhancing relevance of technical and vocational education and training”, he said. “ICT in TVET are at the top of UNESCO-UNEVOC’s agenda. We aim to further explore the potential of technology including MOOCs and open educational resources (OER) as provisions of learning support.”
ONLINE EDUCA is the largest global conference on technology supporting learning and training for the corporate, education and public service sectors.
