From the invitation:
Effectively utilising ICT is ever important for universities, and as technologies develop, ever possible. Staff and students alike are increasingly demanding flexible personalised learning as well as better inter- and intra-university collaboration. If Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are to remain competitive in the 21st century, embedding ICT into infrastructure, pedagogy and management strategy is crucial.
Building on the DfES ‘Harnessing Technology’ strategy and HEFCE’s strategy for e-Learning, published in March 2005, this conference will examine leading edge applications of ICT in HEIs and explore how universities can create a connected learning environment to enhance the student experience.
Bringing together policy makers and senior managers from HE, FE and the ICT community, this timely event will hear a policy update from leading experts and consider how technologies can be used to meet strategic goals including widening participation, admissions and pedagogic innovation.
