        <![CDATA[<div align="center"><strong>Digital Content Creation:<br />
Creativity, Competence, Critique<br />
<br />
The second international DREAM conference<br />
18-20 September 2008<br />
University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark</strong></div><br />
<br />

<h2>Second Call for Papers</h2>
<p>In knowledge-based societies, competence formation through education is key, and the formative role played by digital communication is widely acknowledged. However, one of the major challenges today is the mismatch between the digital resources nurtured by users in and outside of formal educational contexts. Not least young people's rapid take-up of social software such as weblogs and wikis, online chat clients and virtual world applications serve to challenge existing forms of communication for learning, since these innovations allow and assume users' own creation, sharing and editing of content. </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Conference goals</h3>
<p>This conference will present and discuss the most advanced and exciting research on digital content creation, its socio-cultural contexts and educational consequences. A major aim of the conference is to bring together an international forum of scholars from a range of disciplines including media and ICT studies, education, psychology, anthropology, sociology and cultural studies - and to promote dialogue within and across research traditions. We also aim to develop dialogue between researchers, educators and producers of new learning resources. </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Conference themes </h3>
<p>Topics of interest include but are not limited to: </p>
<ul>
<li>Digital content creation: creative processes and textual reappropriations</li>
<li>Competence formation through digital content creation: personal voice or commercial coercion? </li>
<li>Institutional ramifications of digital content creation for learning </li>
<li>Studying digital content creation: the challenge of new methodologies</li></ul>
<p>Papers are encouraged from researchers with interests in any of these specific themes as well as the general issues of the conference. </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Submissions</h3>
<p>If you would like to present a paper, please submit a 400 word abstract with an indication of which of the above themes you will address. Abstracts must include the title of your paper along with author name(s), affiliation, and contact details (postal address, telephone, fax and email address). Abstracts (format: pdf, doc, rtf) should be submitted to <a href="mailto:mail@dream.dk">mail@dream.dk</a> </p>
<p>After the conference, authors are invited to submit revised versions of their papers from which contributions will be selected for a peerreviewed volume focusing on the main themes of the conference.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Dear Collegue</h2>
On behalf of the organising committee it is with great pleasure that I invite you to participate in the 36th Congress of Nordic Educational Research Association. It will be held on March 6 – 8, 2008, in Copenhagen. The School of Education at the University of Aarhus will host the Congress at its campus, which is located in Copenhagen.

The inspiring academic programme will offer you up-to-date inputs around the conference theme, which I am confident will be relevant to most if not all colleagues. In addition, the social programme will offer you great opportunities to maintain and extend your networks. The programme will consist of keynote sessions, paper and poster sessions as well as symposiums. Furthermore there will be a pre-conference for Ph.D-students.

And last, but not the least, Copenhagen will as always have plenty to offer you in terms of culture, entertainment, fun and good food.

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Copenhagen in March 2008.

<h2>Congress theme</h2>
<div align="center"><strong>The new goal-orientation of research strategies</strong></div>

<strong>Is educational research in the Nordic countries being swallowed up by transnational goal-oriented economy discourses?</strong>

“Evidence based practice”, “Modus 2 research“, “more quantitative and internationally comparable research”, “more immediate utility of re-search to educational practice and to business”… These are but a few of the demands that signify a new goal-orientation of research strategies, which is gaining strong momentum in Nordic educational research. 

Research strategies and grants have become increasingly dependent upon demands from outside the research community, where government strategic priorities and dependence upon external financing play major roles. These demands are often marshalled into standardized quality assurance denominators that build upon a vision of excellence and relevance that is closely connected to market thinking.

How does the new goal-orientation of research strategies express itself in educational research in the Nordic countries? Is it being experienced as fruitful or detrimental to dealing with the challenges of educational research and education? Does there exist a particular Nordic approach to these globalising tendencies? Or, are Nordic countries simply being swallowed up in these broader transnational tendencies? 

The inspiration to the new research strategies has largely come from the USA, UK, Australia and New Zealand, and from trans-national agencies like the OECD, WTO (GATS), World Bank and EU, and often refers to the so-called knowledge economy discourse. It represents an increasing interest in universities, education and research from government and business. Research and education are conceived of in market terms and therefore under pressure to become competitive on the global research and education markets. On the one hand this represents globalisation. On the other hand it means standardization.
