Conference Keynotes

2077: The Future of Learning Design (April 2009)

Closing conference keynote for “Schools: from teaching places to learning spaces” in Tartu at the Estonian e-Universities Conference 2009. A slightly tongue-in-cheek (light-hearted) and ‘foresight’ orientated presentation that tries to unpack the uncertainty and make the unknown acceptable. The presentation suggests some broad social trends which will have some impact on education at all levels and invites participants to recognize change and imagine how the life of a future colleague may involve new spaces for learning, new patterns of instruction and new disciplines or themes for learning.

 

Giving Up Control: the Future of e-Learning (October 2007)

Conference Keynote at the opening of the national e-learning centre. The presentation defines the ‘e’ in e-learning as something seen very differently by institutions, staff and students and concludes that the real ‘e’, to ’empower’ requires Universities to ‘get out of the way’ of learners and stop trying to lock them into an institutional Virtual Learning Environment.
