The evaluation results of the JTEL Summer School 2011 showed that it was well organized with a good selection of topics. 64 PhD students from 19 countries participated, with a nearly equal gender split. Most participants were satisfied with the professional and learning opportunities. Suggestions for next year included more research methodology training, hands-on technical workshops, and an emphasis on interdisciplinary topics. Financial support for students was also a key concern.

Students would like to have more PhD guided sessions (how to write, investigate, how to publish, etc.) 2. They will like to acquire more TEL technical knowledge (definitions, fields, and theory).
Did you Twitter during the Summer School? Reason to twitter: - To see what participants thought of the school and to follow up on the links contained within the tweets. - To share and record learned information. - For the first time. - For fun . - Announcing current events, post results of group work - To extend the exuberance of JTEL beyond the walls of the Hotel. - To connect with the other attendances.
