F4 Panel: Hot or Not: Exploring the Emerging Technologies Landscape

4:00 PM - 4:45 PM Wednesday, July 21

In this closing session of the Learning Leaders Online Forum we’ve invited three Guild Masters for a discussion exploring the role technology plays in our work. You will examine a host of emerging technologies and explore perspectives on where they present opportunities, and where they may present limitations and/or risks. While we explore individual trends, we will also be placing a spotlight on the common characteristics of emerging technologies that have the potential to disrupt organizational learning and provide tips on how to vet new technologies in the context of your own work.
