Berlin (GER), May 2017 - Uncertainty is the defining characteristic of our age. Can we learn to live with it? Can we accept it, manage it, and even thrive on it? We live in an age of acceleration. We are in the midst of a sea-change - a profound, transformative shift in knowledge, experience, and perception. It is a new era defined by technology, globalisation, information, and - above all - uncertainty. 

Berlin (GER), December 2016 - If you’re looking for state-of-the-art technology in education, or innovative ideas about how the public sector can work in partnership with private firms to boost learning outcomes, you may want to book a trip to Iceland. Rebecca Stromeyer, Managing Director of ICWE, the Berlin-based firm that organizes OEB, the global cross-sector conference on technology-supported learning and training, has decided to do just that. In June 2017, shortly before midsummer, she will launch "OEB MidSummit", a new event that she describes as "part university, part think-tank, part party," in Reykjavik, the world’s most northern capital city and the perfect mid-point between North America with Europe.

Berlin, November 2016 - Digitale Medien können in der schulischen Bildung eine tragende Rolle einnehmen.

Dies ist eine der Kernfragen der OEB, die in diesem Jahr unter dem Motto "Owning Learning" steht. Die ONLINE EDUCA Berlin startet am 30. November 2016.

Berlin (GER), November 2016 - Robots could soon replace teachers. In fact, not only could they replace them, but they should and will. That’s the view of two top education-technology experts who’ll be at the OEB Debate in Berlin later this month to argue their case that substituting artificial intelligence for real teachers will boost quality and lead to better results.
