A discussion of how technology can reshape adult education by three educators from Ivy Tech and Phoenix University

Where: Ivy Tech Community College Lawrence Campus 9301 E. 59th St.

With the click of a mouse, one can learn in a classroom or library, at home, or on a trip around the world. Attend a workshop that explores how new Inrnet resources and technology can create collaboration, how information is mobile and readily available through ebooks, and how to become knowledge workers in a global village. Explore ways technology accommodates our abilities to learn in different ways and assists in the development of lifelong learners. Next generation education allows for inclusion of a diverse group of individuals locally, nationally, and internationally. Unlike education in the early 20th century which took place in classrooms anyone with access to the Internet can be a lifelong learner. Discussion will focus on how these new tools are reshaping our views of what it means to be educated and how they will affect our culture, especially now that formal learning can occur easily across traditional boundaries and in multiple locations.
