Agenda 2023

•Post pandemic, we consider which solutions add value in “normal” times •Is blended learning here to stay?
•Emerging and anticipated EdTech trends
•How and why different ages and levels require different approaches; the impact on children and teens, brains and society

•We know there’s no one size fits all in education, so now how can AI help teachers give their students what they need?
•An overview of AI enabled personalized and interactive learning
•Student behavior analysis and prediction for optimized learning outcomes
•How AI will change the role of the teacher

•The multi-billion-dollar question under the microscope
•How are AR/VR/XR currently used in education?
•Will these ever become truly mainstream? What are the barriers? What are the gains?
•Can learning in the metaverse ever replace face to face and can it ever be fully democratised

•Just how much does the global education system need to change? 
•Coding, data science, robotics – what are the big hitters in STEM our kids need to learn? 
 •The growing gap - how can we make these accessible to all?
 •Can human and soft skills make better entrepreneurs – creativity, empathy…? 

•Half a billion people without jobs
•Old methods “too slow” to train at scale
•How to solve this now?

How can we apply first principles thinking to reinvent what, how, and where we learn? We'll explore frameworks for true innovation in education and how we can go beyond EdTech when designing novel models of learning.

•Continuous re-skilling and up-skilling - Generating the lasting habit of learning and why it’s increasingly essential
•Beyond traditional learning, what sets acquiring new skills (particularly tech skills) apart
•The rapid rise of the skills-based economy – what does it mean and how will it impact education
•The links and gaps between our current education systems and future requirements. 
•How can we make sure we don’t leave anyone behind?
