The objective of this session is to provide a context in which ethical and social issues involving distance education and educational technology will be considered. The uses of technology to achieve teaching and learning at a distance comprise fundamental transformations in higher education globally. These changes create new challenges and opportunities for rethinking the ends and means of education. This session will be an open discussion about the purpose of education, current worries about distant education, and the potentials to create improved learning via technology.
