Dr. Johnson addressed an audience of approximately 100 people and spoke about impact of emerging technologies on teaching, learning, research, and information management in Australian tertiary education over the next five years.
Dr. Johnson, Chief Executive Officer with the New Media Consortium, is an acknowledged expert on emerging technology and its impacts on society and education and has written five books, seven chapters, and published more than 50 papers and research reports on the topic.
