Join us in Hobart at THETA 2013: The Edge of the World as we explore new territory in technology in higher education.
Edges where two or more worlds come together are where the interesting things happen. The edges where one ecosystem meets another – where land meets river, or bush meets paddock – are where the greatest abundance and diversity of life are found. The edges where one field meets another – where technology meets scholarship, learning, or research – are where the greatest abundance and diversity of ideas are found. This diversity is what makes THETA, The Higher Education Technology Agenda, such a rich and exciting conference.
Technology is changing the world of higher education as it is changing every other business and institution. What new world are we at the edge of? How does it look from where we stand and what will it be like when we get there?
What will universities be?
Will they still have libraries, and libraries books?
Will they still have data centres and computer labs?
Will they still have students, and students universities?
Will they still have researchers, and will research still be done by researchers?
