What is the future of learning in the digital age? How is learning being shaped by neoliberalism? How are digital technologies promoting and hindering learning? This interdisciplinary symposium will be of interest to students, teachers, researchers, support staff and policy-makers working in the field of education in general and technology-enhanced learning in particular. Following previous events in 2015 with Professor James Paul Gee on digital-game based learning, 2014 with Professor Regine Hampel on online and distance learning, and our 2013 event on "MOOCs in the Arts and Humanities" with Sir John Daniel and Professor Tony McEnery, this year's symposium addresses a range of topics of current interest across higher education and learning, including gamification, social networking, learning analytics and the future of online learning.

Plenary Speakers include:

Professor Stephen Bax: "The Future of Learning in the Digital Age: How to Achieve Normalisation" (The Open University, UK).

Professor Jozef Colpaert: "The Future of Content, Learning and Data Analytics in an Educational Engineering Perspective" (University of Antwerp, Belgium).

Professor Grainne Conole: "The Landscape of Digital Practices" (Bath Spa University, UK).

Rajay Naik: "Enabling Online Learning" (Keypath Education, UK).

Professor Hayo Reinders: "The Internet of Things: Implications for Education and Research" (Unitec University New Zealand and Annaheim University, USA).

Professor Randall Sadler (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, USA) and Dr Melinda Dooly (Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, Spain): "Critical Perspectives on Teacher Education: A Pedagogical Proposal for the Digital Age"

Dr Katerina Zourou: "User Perspectives on Open, Social Network-Based Learning and Teaching" (Web2Learn, Greece).

The event is free of charge to participants and light sandwiches/drink refreshments are included. Food is also available for purchase in the Harrington Building Cafeteria directly adjacent to the Harrington Lecture Theatre. Please print out and bring your Eventbrite ticket to registration.
