Becta Expert Technology Seminar

Becta Expert Technology Seminar - Enabling flexibility
      FREE seminar
      Thursday, 8 December 2005
      Manchester Conference Centre
 
Providing access to learning at a time and place that suits the learner can be achieved in many ways, through services extended by academic institutions; in the home and the library; through the learner's own personal device of choice (phone, handheld or portable computer) To deliver true 24/7 access to learning for all learners will not only impact on the traditional educational institution, but will also have considerable social implications.
How realistic is this vision when coupled with the flexibility inherent in the personalised learning and 14-19 reform agendas?

What role can current and emerging technologies play in assisting to bring about anytime anywhere learning and to what extent should we invest in technological solutions to ensure flexibility for all learners, educators and administrators.

      This FREE seminar will try to address some of these questions and has the following themes

      1. Access to learning at a time and place that suits the learner (VLEs/external access)
      2. Services extended by academic institutions (ISPs, WMAN)
      3. The learner’s own personal device of choice (Phone, handheld or portable computer)
      4.  Digital divide (there will be a panel discussion on this subject)
      5. Personalised learning and 14-19 reform agendas
      6. Current and emerging technologies
