This year's keynote address will be delivered by Bob Harrison, Education Advisor & Consultant. "Evolution needs mutations and Revolution needs pioneers but where will they come from in a sector-led system". The presentation will question whether, in a “sector-led system” and a funding and accountability regime which militates against innovation, we can avoid what Martin Bean, and Vice Chancellor of the Open University describes as a “crisis of relevance” facing schools, colleges, adult & community learning and work based learning.

3. Barriers to change-Diana Laurrilard
The drivers of the education system
1.
– assessment, curriculum, inspection/
quality requirements, funding flows,
promotion criteria
– have not changed in recognition of
what technology offers, so nothing
within it can change.

4. Barriers to change
2. Technological change is
very rapid, and because
every innovation is useful in
education we need more
time to make the radical
changes they afford.

5. Barriers to change
3. The education system is
run by leaders who are not
comfortable with either the
detail or the implications of
the technology potential, and
they need more support.

6. Barriers to change
4. Education is a political
activity so avoids being
subject to the innovation
that market forces
encourage.

7. Barriers to change
5. Education systems change slowly
because they are hierarchical command -
control systems, rather than devolved -
power adaptive systems.
Teachers and lecturers are given neither
the power nor the means to improve the
nature and quality of the teaching-learning
process through technology.
