Keynote at the National Conference about flexible learning, 15-17 July Wrest Point Conference Centre, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia / Australasian Association of Distance Education Schools.
In this address, Professor Leinonen will discuss ‘meta-design’, which means design of ‘things’ for educators to design their own teaching and for learners to design their own learning. He will also present a generic Finnish / Northern European perspective on ICT in education, which he and his colleagues aim to make a pan-European model through a project entitled Innovative Technologies for an Engaging Classroom (iTEC). iTEC is a four-year, large-scale project that takes an informed look the potential classrooms of the future. With 27 project partners, including 14 Ministries of Education and funding from the European Commission of 9.45 million Euros, iTEC will provide a model describing how the deployment of technology in support of innovative teaching and learning activities can move beyond small scale pilots and become embedded in all Europe's schools. iTEC is being piloted in over 1,000 classrooms in 12 countries, making it by the most significant pan-European validation of ICT in schools yet undertaken.

Good afternoon. My name is Teemu Leinonen I am professor at the Aalto University in Helsinki Finland. I have done research on New Media and its use in Education for some time and have in last couple of years.
When I am asking this questions in this kind of conferences I often get two things people know about Finland.

Tolstoy has proposed that: “ The vocation of every man and woman is to serve other people ”. In this presentation today I am aiming to demonstrate how I have tried to do it. How I have tried to serve other people. My study is about design. According to Nelson and Stolterman design is not about self-expression. Design is not about self-service. Design is other-service. Design is always an attempt to serve other people.
Länsimaisen kulttuurin ideaalin oppimisesta on Platonin Ἀκαδήμεια (Akatemia). Platonin Akatemiassa vapaat miehet käyskentelivät puutarhassa keskustelen filosofiasta: käsityksistään maailman ja ihmisen luonteesta sekä politiikasta. Akatemian toiminnan mahdollisti se, että vapaa mies edusti harvalukuista eliittiä, jonka elintason ja vapaa-ajan takasi laaja orja- ja naistyövoiman käyttö. Vapaiden miesten yhteisöllä oli mahdollisuus asettaa omat tavoitteensa ja järjestää itselleen oppimistilanteita.
This study examines design of software learning tools in the era of the Web, social software and open content. This partly frames the contemporary socio-technical environment where I have done the design and research work. With this presentation today, I am trying to answer two questions:
