The panel session was chaired by Mike McConnell, University of Aberdeen. The panellists (Mandy Phillips, Claire Gibbons, Charles Hardy and Marianne Kay) were asked to address the following four questions:
- Are universities businesses? Are they truly in competition? Where do third party services like LinkedIn fit in, if at all?
- What is the role of pedagogy/academics in this brave new world? Are we driven by a culture of managerialism?
- What effects will the Internet of Things have on higher education and the student experience?
- What is the future for IWMW?
