Higher Education is changing, with the development and application of new technologies driving much of this change. For those of us concerned with achieving wider access and success a key concern is whether these changes can help or hinder our efforts. Can innovation accelerate progress, or will it have no effect or even worse, negative impacts? At this conference we will learn about the technologies that are changing higher education now and will do in the near future.

Cette grande idée, condition pour l’équité, la paix et le progrès, fait consensus. Cependant la réalité est loin de l’idéal. D’où viennent les écarts ? Quels sont les freins et les facteurs de réussite, quels sont les préalables ? Où sont les leviers? Qui peut quoi pour qui ? Quelles sont les grandes voies sur lesquelles nous avons à conjuguer les expériences et nos réflexions afin de dynamiser notre action vers un but commun, dans l’heureuse union de nos complémentarités?
This seminar jointly organised by the University of Strathclyde Centre for Lifelong Learning and CR&DALL is being held on 21 February 2014 from 2.00pm-4.00pm with light refreshments available from 1.30pm.
