Simon Breakspear shares at ULearn11

Simon Breakspear is recognised internationally as a leading thinker on educational futures, innovation and change leadership. In this keynote presentation from ULearn11, Simon says that for too long technology has been the driving force of change rather than the pedagogy. He urges us towards action and to become creative innovators. He asks whose future are we educating students for – theirs or ours, and are we preparing students for a future that no longer exists?

ULearn 2011 – Update information

"We are happy to be able to tell you that we have been able to secure venues and accommodation in Rotorua so that ULearn 2011 can still go ahead.   It is with great regret that we have had to pull the conference out of Christchurch, but many of the hotels and venues we traditionally use in that lovely city will not be able to host us.

We will be pulling out the stops to recreate the magic of ULearn in its new environment.  We already have considerable interest from overseas for this iconic event and a great line up of speakers including Jack Bacon, Stephen Heppell, Jan Herrington and Tony Ryan.

Registrations are now open!

Please go to ULearn11 to secure the earlybird discount registration fees.

Call for papers

Our regular call for papers for workshops and presentations is also now open online.  This year we continue to develop our refereed stream which will help to recognise researchers and consultants, teachers and other educators involved in research and development and/or postgraduate study.

Accommodation

Tourism Services have secured accommodation for our delegates and we recommend that you use them as there is competition for space in the town and some hotels are definitely exploiting the world cup situation. Visit the accommodation page  for more details."
