The Pre-ISE2014 event in Amsterdam brought together educationalists from across the UK and some other parts of the world, for a dinner and keynote presentation from Mal Fletcher.

Mal is Chairman of the 2020Plus Think Tank.

The event, hosted by Snelling Business Systems, provided an important opportunity for providers of education technology services to network and learn about new offerings in their sector.

Mal addressed the Future of Education Culture, looking at how such things as viral collaboration, shared ownership models and the need for reflection time will transform the world of higher education in the next ten years.

The presentation was very well received, judging from the feedback comments filmed after the session. (See sample comments below.)

Mal was fantastic, he gave us such a lot of information. I really need to see the video later to catch up on some of the information. Lots of things to think about. It was very interesting; he’s a marvellous speaker.

 The keynote speaker was fantastic – he certainly gave us food for thought. I’m taking some things back to the university to mull over. Very informative and very professional.
