We are aware that you are actively involved in eLearning and the use of digital technologies to enhance skill levels and build human capacities in your organisation and country. We thus cordially invite you to take part in the international conference MICROLEARNING2008:

Microlearning & Capacity Building
June 25th to 27th, 2008, in Innsbruck/Austria

(Sponsored by Intel Education, organized in co-operation with University of
Innsbruck and the Learntec Fair)

Capacity Building is about empowering individuals, organisations, and societies to keep pace with the global Knowledge Society, notably through the use of internet-based and mobile ICT. Under the conditions of the global digital climate change, everyone needs to adapt: We see the emergence of new technology-driven practices, new patterns of attention, new aggregate states of knowledge beyond orality or literacy.

The exceptional blend of participants, as well as the relaxed, intimate atmosphere present opportunities to make new contacts and lead inspiring discussions which would otherwise not have have been possible. Participants come from all of Europe, the Americas, Asia and the Arab Region and feature the quite diverse backgrounds: IT architects and university graduates, eLearning practitioners and educators, knowledge managers and corporate trainers, large corporations and small start-ups,e.g.

Of the countries examined, the highest mobile Web penetration is seen in both Germany and Italy (34 percent for each), followed by France with 28 percent, Spain with 26 percent and the UK with 24 percent. The U.S. figure of 19 percent is the lowest of the set.
