Facilitating active transformational learning with Dr. Michel Labour - a researcher of online and blended learning environments.

If empowerment can be seen as a network of mediated processes, how can ICT enhance and help evaluate this process in higher education? The seminar looks at some of the reasons that seem to encourage and discourage this form of active transformational learning. In doing this it will present work with foreign students learning French via an eportfolio project at a major French university that seeks to further the aims of transformative learning.

Dr Michel Labour is an Assistant Professor and a researcher of online and blended learning environments in the Laboratory of Communication Sciences (LSC) at University of Valenciennes and Hainaut-Cambrésis (UVHC), France
