In the time of the Fourth Industrial Revolution the focus has moved sharply from teaching and training as providing information to learning as dealing with information overload.

We have presenters who will talk about high-tech solutions for disadvantaged rural learners. We have presenters who talk about low-tech solutions in high-tech environments. We cover a range of topics from the technical and technological to the deeply spiritual, and we discuss learners from junior school to post-graduate studies - all this so that YOU can be inspired to mix and match your own blend of stratetgies and techniques to motivate your learners to completion.
