BDRA Learning Futures conference, January 2008: Keynote 2
January 10, 2008
Phil Candy (NHS)
Phil Candy chucked some interesting references at us, including the following:
Eilif Trondsen (2006), Virtual Worlds for Learning & Training
The Long Now Foundation – about thinking for the future
Seeley-Brown & Duguid: Universities in the Digital Age (John Seeley Brown also has a wide range of relevant speeches and papers on his website)
Phil’s key themes were using technology to solve enduring pedagogical problems, enabling self-directed learning and addressing the radical discontinuities that exist between universities and workplaces.
(Phil also used a lovely Buddhist quote as an analogy for the internet – I liked it very much).
