beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, interest in new media is actually not very new at all. Singapore has been exploring the uncertain terms and uses of innovative technologies for many years, and the education system is no exception to this inquiry. In 2005, MOE launched an ambitious S$50M effort to research interactive digital media in education that features seven Future Schools and fifteen university-based research projects. Moreover, MOE’s research portfolio synergizes with work being done in other nations that use new media in order to enhance the learning opportunities available to youth. Drawing on initiatives in Singapore and overseas, Dr. Zuiker’s presentation will explore an underlying structure that cuts across these new media phenomena and consider its relevance to learning and teaching in Singapore classrooms as well as in informal settings beyond schools.
