Professor Stephen Heppell
Before we have even ended the first decade of the 21st century much of what we habitually did in the last century seems dated and ineffectual. We seem to have reached the millennium by boxing in learning under the guise of convenience or productivity: standard classrooms, subject grouping, children sitting in rooms because they were born between two Januarys, ringing bells, rigid timetables and so on. But the new generation of learners have grown up in a world of mutuality, communication and community. ICT has allowed them to reach beyond limits of time and place and find themselves in a world of engaging, ambitious, global, joined-up learning which is impacting on their education. Eight years into the century and none of this is surprising. This talk explores - with rich opportunity for questions - what happens next.
Length: 31:08 minutes

Jonathan Nalder
eLearning Branch
While many of us are almost nostalgically attached to the faithful desktop PC, today’s under 18s get their digital access from mobile phones and iPods. Think of this session as your chance to get in on what the kids know already: mobile computing is the way of the future.
