DOHA, Qatar, June 23, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

- The book introduction came at the end of a week of Edtech and innovation

centred-conversations held by the initiative

With an underlying focus on Edtech, WISE

[https://www.wise-qatar.org/london-activities-2022/], an initiative of Qatar

Foundation, held a series of discussions during the London Edtech Week

[https://londonedtechweek.com/], bringing together influential professionals

from across the learning ecosystem to present their insights and offer their

thoughts on current learning trends in both Europe and beyond. The WISE Edtech

Accelerator [https://www.wise-qatar.org/wise-works/wise-accelerator/] hosted

conversations with ventures such as OBRIZUM and Educare, and opened discussions

on funding beyond traditional strategies, ideation to market launch

acceleration, and public-private partnerships for edtech.

Elyas Felfoul, Director of Policy Development & Partnerships at WISE,

commented: "WISE could not miss a chance to be present in London this year, to

highlight the power of collaboration, be partners in innovation, and present

the disruptive ideas and new technologies shaping learning and teaching."

Another highlight of the conversations held in London was the unveiling of a

Learning Ecosystems Playbook by the WISE Living Lab

[https://www.wise-qatar.org/playbook-designing-learning-ecosystems/]. The

unique book provides readers with tools to plan and work on practical steps,

acting as a blueprint for educators to replicate Learning Ecosystems' models

within their own communities and contexts.

The subject of Learning Ecosystems has been a growing area of interest in

recent years [https://www.wise-qatar.org/wise-learning-ecosystems-living-lab/],

giving a glimpse into what the future of education might look like, if

non-traditional learning providers, sharing technologies and resources, worked

together to co-create and enhance learning opportunities within their

community. Taking this into account, as well as research and the potential for

enhanced access to quality education of Learning Ecosystems, the Playbook

provides clear guidance on how to build and manage one. Divided into three

parts, the book helps readers prepare, design and tailor a learning ecosystem

to its learners.

At a special session held during the London Edtech Week, Aurelio Amaral, Head,

Learning Ecosystems, commented: "We hope education stakeholders around the

world will feel encouraged to build and strengthen vibrant learning ecosystems

in their communities. And we look forward to hearing from them how they

employed the tools and tips in the book. Their feedback will help WISE to

expand and contextualise our recommendations."
