We are pleased to invite you to come to the 12th ICO International Fall School (IFS) 2016 in Bad Schussenried (Germany). The ICO IFS2016 is a conference and an international educational event for all PhD-candidates who do research in the domain of learning, instruction and education. The primary aim of the ICO Fall School is to learn: learn from the keynote speeches, the various workshops by experts, and by presenting or discussing issues with regard to your own PhD-project. The second aim is to socialize and form a network in an international scientific community. The ICO IFS2016 is a valuable event for all PhD-candidates, independent of the stage of your research project.

All PhD-candidates who do research in the domains of learning, instruction, and/or education are welcome!
For ICO PhD-members, the International Fall School is a fixed part of their educational programme. Are you not an ICO-member, but are you interested in joining the ICO IFS2016? You are more than welcome to attend: we need your input to make it a truly international event.

The Munich Center of the Learning Sciences (MCLS) invites applications for 12 PhD positions (equaling 2/3 of a full academic position, amounting to approximately 29.000 – 34.000 €/year, duration 36 months) within the International Doctoral School “Scientific Reasoning and Argumentation” (REASON) funded by the Elite Network of Bavaria (ENB) to commence in October 2016 (pending a favorable decision on the continuation of program funding).

All information regarding the program and the application procedure is available on the REASON program webpage.

We are happy to announce that NAPLeS is organizing a full-day pre-conference workshop.

Rational of the workshop

There are numerous academic programs worldwide teaching the Learning Sciences. Yet, there is still no general agreement on the core topics that really constitute the Learning Sciences. This workshop is devoted to the creation of a syllabus for a Learning Sciences introductory course by integrating multiple sources of information on the Learning Sciences (e.g. perspectives from experts in the Learning Sciences, already existing syllabi, etc.).

Conference Theme: Inquiry and Argumentation: Education for Thinking

We are pleased to invite you to the 2016 Joint Meeting of the EARLI Special Interest Groups SIG 20 “Inquiry Learning" and SIG 26 “Argumentation, Dialogue and Reasoning”.

The conference will be held from Monday the 22th to Wednesday the 24th of August 2016 in Ghent, Belgium.

We're happy to announce the upcoming webinar, held by David Williamson Shaffer! He is going to talk about " Tools of Quantitative Ethnography: Epistemic Network Analysis and nCoder" on March 17th at 4pm UTC.
