In his role as the president of the European Association of Technology Enhanced Learning, KMi Director: Peter Scott together with the Vice President: Wolfgang Nejdl from L3S (Hanover, Germany), have awarded three teams of scientists for their research excellence. The Association made a series of awards for top quality work in TEL research during the European Conference of Technology Enhanced Learning which was held in Nice, France at the start of October this year.
