• Arts, science, design, technology, computer science and communication studies are key disciplines brought together in contemporary media arts, however relevant technologies develop rapidly and often separately from educational institutions. Consequently, a gap exits between the technological developments and its application in formal education worldwide at academic institutions as well as at middle school level and in hybrid educational scenarios. The LEF@ISEA2008 forum intends to address the diversity of these issues and aims to bring together local and international educational experts to enable a dialogue between artists, educators, technological experts, policy makers and sponsors. The outcome of the summit is a white paper with specific recommendations for educators, educational institutions, policy makers and sponsors to be circulated within six months of ISEA2008.

• This forum is organised by Nina Czegledy, Daniela Reimann & Lynn Hughes of the Leonardo Education Forum, Pacific Rim New Media Education Working Group@ISEA2008, Singapore
