The corresponding slides are available on SlideWiki (CrowdLearn, Balanced Scoring). The CrowdLearn paper discussing the underlying philosophy behind SlideWiki received many attention from the audience and was also nominated for the best-paper award in the conference. There were many people who were interested in using SlideWiki for publishing their teaching material and to share their educational content with other people in an OpenCourseWare environment.

Most of the keynotes were addressing MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) and the new paradigms emerging on the Web for social learning. SlideWiki as an example of collaboration platform was also mentioned by professor Michael E. Auer in his keynote about the new engineering challenges in e-learning.
