This presentation examines the intersection between people, technology and learning and challenges the audience to think differently about the future interaction between the three. How do people fundamentally learn? How do they learn in communities throughout their life? How does technology and distance education in particular support learning? In an interactive and engaging discussion, Dr Carver fosters a conversation about the future of education in Georgia and the critical role that online and distance education will play.

Presented at the Online Lifeline Conference, Valdosta State University, Valdosta, Georgia, February 16-18, 2011.
