Pierre AYER, consultant international sera à Nantes le 13 juin au salon des "quadras Quinquas"et prononcera une conférence à l'occasion de la sortie de son récent ouvrage "Vae Retro Curriculum Vitae?"
« Une carrière professionnelle est rarement linéaire, changement de poste, de fonction, d’entreprises, voire de nos jours de métiers.
Les points les plus sensibles se situent lors des ruptures majeures surtout lorsqu’elles se produisent sur le tard.
Le curriculum vitae est le support incontournable dans un processus de recrutement, encore faut-il rentrer dans ce processus qui n’est pas celui d’un examen, mais d’un concours, où il n’y a qu’un seul lauréat…! ».
Soyons réalistes, le CV n’est pas le support idéal pour rentrer dans la compétition, l’auteur dévoile dans cet ouvrage la démarche suivie par des cadres et des dirigeants qui se sont redéployés en s’inscrivant de manière enthousiaste dans une campagne innovante de « Promotion de leurs Talents » en utilisant une « FlashBiographie® ».
Dans cet ouvrage Jean Pierre AYER, président de High Potential Resources, apporte une vision, réaliste et dépouillée d’artifices du contexte actuel de l’emploi des cadres et dirigeants salariés, ainsi que des solutions leur permettant de rebondir rapidement lorsque cela devient nécessaire.
Les outils délivrés dans les chapitres, sont issus de son expérience de conseil auprès de nombreuses multinationales et de directeur à la CEGOS où il a accompagné la réussite de plusieurs dizaines de consultants.
Cet ouvrage est également émaillé d’exemples tirés du vécu des ressources de talents présentes chez HPR  qui ont su utiliser avec profit le dispositif de portage salarial de troisième génération, mis en place dans cette structure, pour vivre de manière pérenne leur poursuite d’activité.
Le lecteur trouvera donc ici, un guide pratique pour écrire sa biographie et mener une campagne de redéploiement efficace. Il pourra, en ligne, consolider son profil de personnalité à l’aide de l’autodiagnostic « DEFI Consultant® »  et s’approprier de nombreux outils pour développer des relations riches et fructueuses avec son entourage tant professionnel que personnel.

“Adults Learning for Intergenerational Creative Experiences” (ALICE) focuses this idea in a non-traditional way in order to:

-help adults, senior citizen and volunteers to reflect and acquire competences necessary to become effective educators, and the impact their actions can have on future learning of children.

-provide adults, senior citizen and volunteers with creative languages  to generate opportunities for intergenerational learning;

Dr. Fred Mulder, UNESCO Chair holder in Open Educational Resources (OER) at the Open Universiteit in the Netherlands and former Rector of OUNL, and Dr. Rory McGreal, UNESCO Chair holder in OER and professor at Athabasca University, recently stopped by Rome to deliver keynote addresses at the LINQ2013 conference.
eLearning Papers has recently launched an issue on MOOCs. What is your opinion about this phenomenon?
FMI think MOOCs are an interesting phenomenon that gained a lot of media attention recently. This attention can help make OER mainstream in education and get OER in the policies of governments. MOOCs are still in an infancy stage and they can further develop in various ways in the future, but I think they can anyway help reach this ultimate OER goal.
RM I am very excited about MOOCs. We were involved with the first MOOCs that came out in Canada and George Siemens, one of the founders of the MOOC concept, is one of our faculty members. I have been supporting scalable education nearly all of my professional life and I think the major challenge for the 21^st century is how we educate people around the world who are capable of a university education and just don’t have access, which is an issue not only in the developing world, but even in Canada and in Europe. We need to educate more people all their lives and we cannot do it using the elite model that we have developed in the past. Read more...

Interested in the challenges and future of MOOCs? We invite you to join this new online community and become an active actor on this ongoing and vibrant global discussion.
The recently launched MOOCs and Beyond community aims to analyse the role of these massive courses in the educational world and highlight and further explore the differences between the MOOCs learning experience and more traditional ones.
Is there a future for MOOCs in Europe? Will this historical movement in Open Education have a lasting resonance in the digital age? To what extent can MOOCs engage users socially? How well can they promote entrepreneurship education?
Discuss, share experiences and find out more about the possibilities of this challenging learning and teaching experience in the new eLearningEuropa.info free online community.

VIII Conferência Internacional de TIC na educação – Challenges 2013 - 15 July 2013 - 16 July 2013. Braga, Portugal. VIII Conferência Internacional de TIC na educação – Challenges 2013.
Aprender a qualquer hora e em qualquer lugar é um desiderato essencial de qualquer sociedade moderna e assume-se como tema integrador da VIII Conferência Internacional de TIC na educação – Challenges 2013, prosseguindo a linha de promoção, reflexão e divulgação das práticas de inovação e aprendizagem com as TIC que tem orientando as edições das “Challenges”. Numa sociedade em que a aprendizagem e o conhecimento se configuram cada vez mais como realidades em permanente desenvolvimento e mutação Learning anytime, anywhere / Aprender a qualquer hora e em qualquer lugar configura-se como um novo paradigma educacional fortemente ancorado nas tecnologias digitais e em rede que progressivamente integram os ecossistemas de aprendizagem. É neste contexto que vos convidamos a estar connosco nesta oitava edição das conferências “Challenges” a ter lugar em 15 e 16 de julho de 2013 na Universidade do Minho, refletindo, partilhando e discutindo os resultados da investigação em TIC na educação, na procura de novas agendas de investigação, de intervenção e de consolidação do conhecimento.
Numa organização do Centro de Competência em TIC na Educação do Instituto de Educação da Universidade do Minho, a conferência desenvolver-se-á abarcando uma pluralidade de temáticas, organizadas em torno de três eixos principais:

• Ambientes emergentes
• O digital e o currículo
• Avaliação digital

No eixo “Ambientes emergentes” incluem-se os contributos que visam discutir as mais recentes inovações tecnológicas procurando linhas de desenvolvimento futuro nas suas dimensões relacionadas com a educação e a formação.

Contemporary media (digital, social and mobile) is transforming the landscape of identity, education and employment. The centralised, top-down, mass media model on which most of our institutions are based is facing assaults from the emerging decentralised, bottom-up, networked, agile social  knowledge media. While old  power centres are being challenged, new ones are emerging: they are based on the systematic collection, analyse and exploitation of the mass of data produced in our daily life. And we are busily coding our actions and thoughts for Google and Facebook to monetise them. In this context, how can we create the conditions for the emancipation of individuals towards a truly open society?
To reflect the need to address those issues, the  tittle of ePIC 2013 is Open Me!
Open ePortfolios, Open Badges and Open Identities will be among the key discussions.
Join us at ePIC 2013, the 11th ePortfolio and Identity Conference, 8-9-10 July 2013, at the IET, Savoy Place, London.
