News

In this public lecture Bob Harrison explored the challenges faced by teachers and learners using technology to extend and enhance learning and to engage and empower learners in a system whose design principles are no longer fit for purpose.

Bob’s eight grandchildren leave school between 2024 and 2038 and his presentation suggested we need a new generation of “paradigm pioneers” of education leaders and policy makers to ensure the education of these grandchildren will prepare them for life and for making a living in a digital world.
