Concepts
- Can
technology change learning by providing more than just tools?
- Do
technologies enhance or detract from the learning process?
- Do
teachers and students have different perspectives of how
and when communication technology enhances the learning
process?
-
Can communication help learners to gain access to concepts
and to present and share their developing understanding?
- Can
technology really enable better and more meaningful feedback
from students and to students?

Networks
for learning
- Does
technology mediated communication develop commitment in
learners?
- Is
peer support enhanced or diminished by technology?

partnerships in learning enhanced in scope, scale, breadth
or depth by communication technologies?
- Do
learning technologies serve the corporate learner?

benefits can communication bring to diverse and non-traditional
communities of learners?

Distance
learning
- Is
learning without borders possible?
- Can
we overcome time and space with the aid of learning technologies?
- Do
we need technologies to meet the challenges of the globalisation
of learning?
- Can
communication help to close cultural divides and enable
learning without borders, to meet the challenges of globalisation?

The
future
- What
are the promises, problems and prospects of communication
in e-learning?
- Is
the reality of e-learning rhetoric or is it delivering the
benefits claimed for it?
- Do
we need new frameworks for e-learning and will this be evolution
or revolution?
|
- Will
new technologies react to the new education market place
or will the market react to the technologies?
- What
will education look like in the future when portable communication
devices have become more powerful and more intelligent,
and bandwidth is no longer a limiting factor?
