Review of Key Competencies in the Knowledge Society Conference 2010: E-learning and computer competency research in the age of social media

Written by: Michael Nycyk

In September 2010, I attended the Key Competencies in the Knowledge Society (KCKS) conference, held as part of the International Federation for Information Processing World Computer Congress (WCC) in Brisbane, Australia. The WCC is held every two years in a host nation and was organised by the Australian Computer Society. The uniqueness of this conference is the mix of commercial and corporate sectors, nonprofit organisations, government departments, schools and academic researchers from many countries who present academic and commercial research.
