This one and a half day open forum will focus on current and emerging technologies that support learning. It will include discussion of opportunities and challenges for the infrastructure necessary to support digital education. Panel sessions will provide a voice to both technologists supporting learning and teachers using technology to enhance learning. The forum will include discussions of emerging issues that impact learning futures such as Identity Management and Security. Additionally, international speakers have been invited to present their views on interoperability and the benefits of standards. It is aimed at a cross-sectoral mix of policy makers and implementers responsible for education technology and vendors wishing to integrate their services into education infrastructure.

The forum will also showcase finalists for the IMS GLC Learning Impact Awards Australian Regional Finals.

Speakers' presentations are now available for download.
