Reengineering Education

The key message from me is…….

Institutions, policy makers and educators alike must

understand the difference between acknowledging the

existence of tablets, and actively designing and

implementing an educational environment that can

benefit from maximising their usage. Just because the

institution down the road bought some is never

justification for your institution to follow the same route

and implement the same model using the same devices.
