Presentation for a round table discussion onb 21st century post-secondary learning held at the NSCC Festival of Learning 14 August 2008

many information sources, that it is becoming
(or maybe already is) impossible to learn on

between learners and between educators, an
awareness of learning styles and a need to
develop authentic curriculum and assessment...
Technology of all types will be increasingly
Important
