Past-Symposium-2015

One Day Symposium on Embodied Design in Education

October 16 2015

Utrecht University, Van Lier en Egginkzaal, Heidelberglaan 8,Utrecht

Organized by Arthur Bakker, Marieke van der Schaaf, Shakila Shayan, & Paul Leseman (Utrecht University)

This symposium is aiming to exchange the newest insights on how to make embodied design productive for technology-enhanced learning environments. Speakers discuss what education can learn from embodied cognition research in mathematics, psycholinguistics, gesture and multimodality, ecological dynamics, kinesiology, as well as multimedia learning.

We are pleased to announce our speakers:

Harold Bekkering (Radboud University), Asli Ozyurek (Radboud University), Dor Abrahamson (University of California, Berkeley), Raúl Sánchez-García (European University of Madrid), Wim Pouw (Erasmus University Rotterdam), Erik Myin (University Antwerpen), Kristine De Martelaer (Vrije Universiteit Brussel and Utrecht University), and Tamara van Gog (Utrecht University).

This symposium is funded by Educational and Learning Sciences (Utrecht University). Participation is free of charge.
