DEEP LEARNING THROUGH DIALOGUE -
THE DIALE PROJECT EXPLAINED
Calmar International are partners with representatives from Finland
(Lead Partner), Spain, Cyprus, and the Netherlands in a project
entitled DIALE - Deep Learning Through Dialogue. Over the past 10 years
Dr. Helena Aarnio (Pictured on right )and her colleague Dr. Jouni
Enqvist both of HAMK University, Hameenlina, Finland have been working
on the development of a system to teach people to develop their skills
in learning and collaboration with others.
Learning experiences are often considered superficial, discussions with
other people are regarded as lacking in content and collaboration in
various communities often remains shallow.
The goal of "Deep learning through dialogue" is to facilitate learning,
interaction and collaboration in various situations in educational,
business organisations and in other communities.
Interaction, collaboration and deep learning can be learned through
practising dialogue. Dialogue helps one get along with and improve
one's collaboration with different people. In addition, conversation
based on the principles of dialogue forces one to learn more deeply and
more efficiently. This may seem implausible at first, but the effort is
worth making.
