Wellington 2012

Education is facing a number of significant challenges. Recent waves of global uncertainty coupled with local crisis and government reforms are reshaping the tertiary education landscape. In the backdrop of these challenges new digital technology is enabling new models of teaching and learning. Yet, serious questions remain over the sustainability of these new models and the claims about the potential of new technology, especially in the face of deeper challenges.

The aim of the 2012 ascilite conference is to explore some of these challenges and to better understand the complexity of sustainability in its widest sense. The basic premise is that what happened in the past is no longer a reliable guide to the future. There are three future-focused

Sub-themes:

• Learning for the future
  
• Teachers as future makers
  
• Leading in a climate of change
  

ascilite 2012 will be held on the Wellington waterfront at the iconic Te Papa Tongarewa ­ National Museum of New Zealand. Enjoy the spectacular views of Wellington Harbour and take time to discover some of the rich history of Aotearoa/New Zealand. Wellington is an excellent conference venue with lots on offer including a lively nightlife and many tourist attractions within walking distance.
