The conference was focused on the future of distance education and I spoke about some of the external influences on educational institutions. My presentation slides, in French, are available on Slideshare. I closed with a quote from Marina Gorbis, which I think clearly paints a possible future for the focus public education. "In a world where people’s jobs will not be given to them, each individual will need to look deeply and understand what she or he is good at, how she or he can contribute to multiple efforts and navigate multiple roles and identities as a part of different communities."

I think the biggest challenge is how badly distance education is misunderstood. Online education isn’t something new; it’s a natural extension of classic DE theory. It’s also far from a second-rate activity. DE can be – and ought to be – every bit as effective than on-campus education in terms of student outcomes and academic achievement. Where that’s not the case, odds are that DE is being practiced poorly. DE is difficult to do well, and it takes what Michael G Moore and Greg Kearsley identified in 1996 as a ‘systems approach’. In other words, it’s not enough to just offer some courses at a distance. The entire organisation needs to be oriented around and dedicated to the success of the distance student. DE done poorly does not reflect a systems approach.
