LO18456 is advertising a conference on how technology is reshaping
corporations. As I work in the financial services industry, it is clear
that we are facing the continual automation of trading and even of giving
advice on which stock or investments to buy. Competition is focused on
technology as it is in high tech and in book selling (i.e. Amazon.com).

Education is also moving to using technology to distribute information,
encourage collaboration and communication and to impart skills at
different levels. But, while a few schools are moving to adopt and adapt
technology to learning, others are actively opposed. In my web site
(www.kwheeler.com) I have listed arguments on both sides.

What do you think? Where is technology taking education? Will it replace
or significantly alter the standard university/college?

I would enjoy your comments and thoughts.
