E-Learning-Inclusivo (Mashup)

Après le succès du premier Cap Digital ID (Cap Digital Inspiring Day), qui a rassemblé 200 participants autour d’une vingtaine de démonstrations, nous vous proposons une seconde édition, toujours dans cet esprit de partage et de communication, en toute simplicité.

Pour cette deuxième édition, nous avons choisi une thématique d’actualité du pôle, avec le prochain lancement de l’Educalab, structure d’innovation dédiée à l’Education, portée par Cap Digital et soutenue par la région Ile de France (inauguration prévue le 03/03), ainsi que l’actualité nationale de  la Semaine de l’Industrie, qui nous permet de donner une résonance plus large au Cap Digital ID, et nous offre l’opportunité de nous rapprocher de nos voisins de l’Ecole ISCPA spécialisée en journalisme, communication et production. 

Cette deuxième édition sera donc organisée autour de la thématique de l’Education au sens large (outils, logiciels et contenus pour l’éducation et la formation numérique, edutainement, seriousgaming, learning analytics, …)

On December 1, 2014 Linz was incorporated as the City of Media Arts in the Creative Cities Network of UNESCO (Credit: City of Linz).

As the birthplace of Ars Electronica, Linz has been a global leader at the interface of art, technology and society for decades now.

Linz has been accepted as a member of the prestigious Creative Cities Network and is now officially entitled to use the epithet UNESCO City of Media Arts. Obviously, this is a major boost for Linz’s international profile.

True to its title, "Capture All," the program of this year's transmediale festival in Berlin was ambitiously panoramic, with such a marathon, round-the-clock schedule that by the last day a number of attendees had come down with the same cold. Separated into the thematic tracks of Work, Play, and Life, the events revolved around the quantification of everyday activities, mass data acquisition, algorithmic sorting of information about people and the planet, and the systems of power and control implicit in all of those processes—topics in which most of the festival's target audience is well-versed.

The majority of that audience is made up of academics, artists, cultural workers, technologists, and students. This year for the first time, tickets sold out completely; on opening night the 1,035-seater auditorium was over capacity, and throughout the five-day festival, waiting lines stretched around corners.
