Understanding the digital future of higher education is not so much about the latest Web 2.0 and "net generation" trends as it is about the confluence of a wide range of factors --economic and political as well as technological and demographic. This conference provides an opportunity to explore questions raised by these interrelated developments. The event will also address the open and technically-mediated teaching that institutions, whether new or established, are increasingly expected to provide. Keynote presentations from international experts will be featured, including Dr. Tony Bates, author of Effective Teaching with Technology in Higher Education, and Professor Michael A. Peters, author of Knowledge Economy, Development and the Future of Higher Education. These presentations will be combined with discussion and debates involving researchers, practitioners and audience members, with reflections and responses from decision makers and stakeholders rounding out the day.

The aim of M4T-3 online workshop is to help you learn how to create and manage Moodle courses. The workshop will take place on the IT4ALL Moodle so there will be no need to move to other learning environments. M4T-3 will include asynchronous (via the Moodle) and synchronous (via WiZiQ) components. M4T will provide participants with theoretical and practical skills. The workshop demands at least 2-3 hours of course work a week.

Thank you.

High schools not ready for technololgy

My current high school has asked me to stop using the computer lab and only work in the traditional classroom. I am not going to stop using technology. Starting September 1st, my students and I will only be connecting from home. I may be able to get a few computer classes to get the students started but that's all. I guess I am lucky that I am very experienced so I can manage such a program, but some schools are just not ready to accept technology. Am I alone in believing that technology can facilitate and improve the quality of instruction and learning in the K-12 setting?
