Abstract
The panel started with short presentations by the panellists. The subsequent discussion focussed on the following issues: the need for academic staff to learn new technological skills to make changes possible; the need for the course development cycle in distance education to become faster and more accomModating to students’ needs; the need to acknowledge learning taking place outside of universities; the different and necessary role in lifelong learning played by universities as places for reflection and critical perspective; the role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in lifelong learning; the appearance in different forms of virtual universities; and the changing role of the teacher.
