Learner Driver Conference 2006

The Learner Driver was a major conference about the transformation of learning in Scottish Further and Higher Education. Not a refresher course in the Highway Code, The Learner Driver was a conference which reflected the fast pace of change taking place within the educational landscape. The conference examined the potential positive transformational effect that new technology and methodologies can have on the learner experience, and how learners themselves are central to the change.
