Desktop and web widgets are handy little things providing computer users with instantly available functions ranging from clocks to calenders to calculators to mention but a few of the more mundane applications.

Combining simplicity with versatility, widgets have captured the imagination of TENCompetence researchers at the University of Bolton's Institute of Educational Cybernetics who are looking for ways to integrate chat and voting facilities into Learning Design runtime tools. 

This year's Advanced Learning Technology Conference will take place at the University of Leeds in the UK from the 9th to the 11th of September.

The theme of the conference is "Rethinking the Digital Divide" and TENCompetence will be running a 90 minute hands-on workshop to allow participants to explore and evaluate the RTD outcomes of the TENCompetence project for themselves. The workshop is open to all and will be of particular interest to those working in the fields of competence frameworks, lifelong learning and distributed learning.
