• Where Next? From the Virtual and Philosophical, to the Real and Practical

  by Andy Piper

  The virtual and digital spaces are exciting frontiers in our
  explorations of how new technology can reshape the ways in which the
  human race learns and interacts. It's exciting, but we are being challenged
  to do more, with less. So, how can we harvest what we learn
  from those spaces, and how are they affecting the ways in which we work?
  Andy will attempt the delicate balancing act of wrapping up the key
  things that we learn and share together at ReLIVE11, and to talk about
  how businesses and large organisations are starting to both explore
  the social web, and exploit new consumer technologies. How is it really
  possible to innovate and be creative, to reach more and new audiences
  and learners?
  He'll also present some of his thoughts about key technologies and research
  directions to watch over the coming 1-5 years.
