“With the Twitter hashtag, class is always open…It never ends.”Helen Keegan, Plenary Session 3 (October 23, 2012)

Learners are in the Driver Seat, but

Instructors are guiding students on their way…

Pedagogies are defining how they will find their way

with Technology as the engine…

Institutions are building and providing the car – and issuing the license

ALL are part of a student-centered learning (SCL) system…
