[font=Segoe UI]The unconference “EMPLOY:ED 2014 – Technology for learning and recruiting” will be an ideal opportunity in an inspiring environment to discuss the trend topic “Corporate MOOCs – where are we heading to?”. This year’s summit taking place on May 14th (10 a.m. – 4 p.m.) at the [/font][font=Segoe UI]Google Campus in London[/font][font=Segoe UI] will be exclusively dedicated to further education solutions for employers.[/font]
[font=Segoe UI] [/font]
[font=Segoe UI]After the success of the [/font][font=Segoe UI]European MOOCs Stakeholders Summit[/font][font=Segoe UI], which was held in Lausanne, Switzerland, in February this year, interested professionals and experts are now looking forward to getting together in London to talk over Corporate MOOC solutions. Some of the questions that will be discussed are: What are the opportunities offered by MOOC solutions in the corporate sector? Which criteria must be respected when adapting the academic MOOC standards to the needs of companies and institutions?[/font]
[font=Segoe UI] [/font]
[font=Segoe UI]The summit is an opportunity for employers to benefit from the experience of educators who have switched to outcome-focused ICT procurement decisions and learn from today's education technology companies who are increasingly creating products underpinned by proven pedagogical practices. [/font]
[font=Segoe UI] [/font]
[font=Segoe UI]In contrast to conventional conferences, the [/font][font=Segoe UI]“EMPLOY:ED” Summit[/font][font=Segoe UI] aims at encouraging all participants to actively discuss the topics which seem most interesting to them. After a short introductory keynote, they will be given the opportunity to come together in small informal workshops to focus on their favorite topic. Once discussions are finished, participants will be invited to enjoy the end of the day with drinks, music and a BBQ on the famous Google Campus. [/font]
