Plenary Debate:

Social and Ethical Issues in Education Technologies

Is mobile learning a short-cut to remedy the scarcity of educational resources in the developing world?

How m-learning technologies can be articulated in the classroom? Which are the pedagogical adaptations necessary to exploit the full potential of new learning technologies?

Are corporate interests shaping emerging educational technologies to open new markets rather than children's minds? Under which conditions could business strategies, policy choices , and human values converge or diverge?

What is next for socially responsible, action oriented research in the field of mobile learning?

A panel of distinguished speakers among the participants in the seminar will debate on these fundamental issues, interacting with the audience in a spirit of open collaboration.
