Technology for access to learning – help or hindrance? A panel discussion Technology is often touted as a tool for reaching a broader range of learners and enabling innovative pedagogical approaches. However, in 2019 we still have a digital divide in Australia. Internet speeds, affordability of personal devices, and digital literacy are all potential barriers to equitable participation in technology-rich higher education experiences. Our panel will address the question of whether technology is an enabler for inclusive and equitable access to higher education, whether it is a barrier, and what higher education institutions in Australia can and are doing in this space. Meet the Panel • Timothy Randall – a USQ student studying a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws • Sylvia Wilson-Kuhbauch – Senior and Principal Advisor for Education, Queensland Correctional Services • Amber Marshall – Research Fellow, Digital Media Research Centre, Queensland University of Technology, and * Shelley Kinash – Director, Advancement of Learning and Teaching, University of Southern Queensland Join us on 26 November 2019 from 10.30 am – 12.00 pm (AEST), either in-person at our Toowoomba Campus, or online (https://wahed.usq.edu.au/panel-session/) You are encouraged to participate in the discussion via Twitter. Tweet your questions during the session with the conference hashtag #WAHED2019 and the committee will pose them to the panel. If you are unable to attend the panel session, you can follow along via Twitter using the hashtag #WAHED2019. Further information: https://wahed.usq.edu.au/panel-session/
