Education for the Second Quarter of the 21st Century

This presentation will articulate how learning and the ecosystems in which it occurs are changing as we enter the second quarter of the 21st century. Stability, security, durability, and preparedness for yet-to-be-deployed applications are critical to today's decision makers. Whether one is focused on direct instruction, collaboration, e-gaming, the metaverse, or big data usage in higher education, this session will explore issues of relevance and provoke new thinking. This session will involve a combination of presentation, video, and group dialogue to have participants connect the physical and digital environments for learning with the emerging opportunities for individual support and institutional transformation.
