Session description

This spin through four decades of edtech, based on the report "Unfulfilled Promise: The Forty Year Shift from Print to Digital and Why it Failed to Transform Learning," will explore the highlights as well as the unfulfilled promise of the shift to digital learning. We'll examine what worked and what didn't, applying lessons learned to a future where generative artificial intelligence acts as a co-designer, tutor, and learning assistant.
