One of the biggest challenges facing educators today is the application of technology to increase learning efficacy, bond the learning community together, and facilitate the dialogue between students and teachers.
• Can technology help us achieve a ‘Socratic dialogue’ with our students?
• How does this influence the structured curricula in place today?
• What is the impact of this approach on instructional design?
• Are teachers and students ready for this transformation?
• What role can simulations play in fostering this dialogue?
