From my MIL colleague Christian Dalsgaard I learned about an interesting conference on “Knowledge Media” on the 19th and 20th of January 2009 at Aarhus University, Denmark. Christian and his colleagues from Center for It and Learning will be organizing this event, which has 4 main themes that will provide the focus for the conference:

1. Knowledge sharing in a global perspective
2. New learning environments: Web 2.0 and Social Software
3. Knowledge media
4. Between formal and informal learning

And so far they’ve announced these leading keynote-speakers:

• Terry Anderson, Athabasca University, Canada

• Friedrich Hesse, Knowledge Media Research Center, Tübingen, Germany

• Lars Qvortrup, School of Education, University of Aarhus, Denmark

• Jørgen Bang, Institute of Information and Media Studies, University of Aarhus, Denmark
