Abstract: The future of learning, and the impact of technology and standards on learning and teaching have been hotly debated issues. Some envision a day when every person on the planet is able to experience personalized learning at any time. Others see this as being neither possible nor desirable. There are middle positions, too, which view standards and technology as being significant but uncertain in their potential impact on learning generally. This panel will offer an interactive exploration of these wide-ranging perspectives. The panel consists of a number of individuals who are leaders in the areas of learning technologies and standards, and who will discuss their personal perspectives on these issues. No single solution will be offered; but instead, attendees will be in a much better position to determine their directions and plans as a result of hearing thoughtful alternatives from the panel members.
