PANEL DISCUSSION
Panel Theme: Advancing Adult Learning: Strategy, Capability and Collective Action
Changing workforce needs, rapid developments in technology, and evolving expectations of individuals are reshaping adult learning. An effective response to these demands requires more than individual innovations in teaching and learning. It calls for clarity on our priorities, the capabilities needed for the future, and the conditions that enable meaningful and sustained change and impact.
Bringing together perspectives from higher education, adult learning and assessment, curriculum and capability development, and workforce and industry, the panel will explore the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of adult learning. It will consider how institutions and the wider adult learning ecosystem can respond strategically, overcome barriers to transformation, and strengthen collective action across educators, institutions, employers, industry and policymakers.
