Theme : Technology-Enhanced Research

Technology, economics, and population growth have created a global economy. As a result, schools and universities in developed nations need to train graduates for creative thinking, collaboration, and complex problem solving. Is the current system the right way to prepare young people for life in this new world? This session looks at how the technologies of the digital age change old ideas about thinking, learning, and expertise–and at how these same technologies provide the tools to teach and to assess complex thinking through well-designed computer games.

The broad and deep integration of technology throughout our personal and professional lives has become quite significant in it’s impact as it is forcing change in both the deliver and access to education and knowledge, as well as a transformation of many economies.
