Plenary Sessions
The ONLINE EDUCA BERLIN 2011 theme of 'New Learning Cultures' set the agenda for an in-depth discussion of the most important questions facing those in education and business today. How should we teach? How can we learn? Do we need a new culture of learning? Are the old methods dead? In a world of rapid technological change, is training enough or do we need to encourage the adaptability that only education can bring? And how can the delivery of education keep up with the pace of change?
