The conference’s keynote speeches, presentations and workshops will develop
these themes to consider:
Time as a dimension of flexible learning; ways of working across time
barriers; the impact of new views of time as a resource; experiences of
distributed learning.
Space as a flexible resource; relationships between physical and virtual
learning environments; reconfigurations of the idea of the campus; the
culture and ecology of the distance learning network.
Sustainability of approaches to future learning: making the most of
resources and technology for learning development; future-proofing;
environmental responsibilities.
