Public leaders and educational leaders alike believe that education must be restructured if it is to remain the cultural and economic foundation of a prosperous democracy into the next century. We need to design new instructional models giving learners immediate access to information and immersing them in interactive worlds crafted from the new technologies to engage all of the human senses in learning. Bill Graves is Associate Provost for Information Technology, Director of the Institute for Academic Technology, Professor of Information and Library Science, and Professor of Mathematics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Professor Graves has given over 200 invited presentations on the role of information technology in education and has written and edited extensively on the subject. Estimated attendance for the conference 400-500.
