Charles will give the keynote address on Monday morning. His topic is "A New Paradigm of Learning and Instruction." This presentation addresses four questions:
· What is a new paradigm, and is it needed?
· What might a new paradigm of education be like?
· What might the new paradigm of instruction be like?
· What are the implications for educational technologists in colleges?

After defining "new paradigm" and "systemic change," this presentation identifies major societal changes that are likely to impact on education. Then it explores the implications of those changes for education and the kinds of changes we might expect to see in schools and colleges. After presenting a general vision of an information-age educational system, it explores how methods of instruction might change to support that vision. Finally, it addresses some specific implications for educational technologists in higher education.
