Description
Since 1983, significant changes in learning have been predicted, based on the increased availability of interactive and dynamic information processing tools. This work focuses on the degree to which these predictions have become reality; examines their effects; and explores potential future trends. The major themes under consideration include: changes in society affecting learning; equity in learning; flexible learning environments; interactive learning and the changing role of teachers; learning about dynamic systems; and policies for change.
