Using Technology in the learning city: Consulting and Informing

Session outline: This is the last of the sessions on consultation tools and techniques. It shows examples of good practice from the book ‘Learning Cities, Learning Regions, Learning Communities’ and promotes reflection on the many issues involving the use of technology, particularly concentrating on the need for a more informed population if the new capability is not be abused. In several ways it is different from other sessions. Firstly it requires the use of computers to access the web, and so these should be made available. Secondly it ends by requiring learners to put together a strategy for the use of technological tools and techniques for consultation in their own cities and regions.
