"Human Learning Potential" (Ken Richardson) looks at traditional views about human potential and how they have been modified by recent psychological research. "Learning Theory: Harnessing the Strength of a Neglected Resource" (David Bradshaw) argues that teachers should try to develop the right side of the brain. "Curriculum and Curriculum Process for a Changing World and an Uncertain Future" (Anne Jones) explores the type of curriculum necessary for now and for the future. "A Learning in Organizations Model" (Alan Jones) provides a model that combines adult learning theory with ideas about the learning organization. "Towards the Virtual Library: Deconstruction and Reconstruction of Learning Resources in Higher Education" (Alasdair Paterson) explores the change in emphasis to management of information. "Structures and Funding" (Tony Cann) examines the leadership and funding necessary to realize a learning society. "Learning: A Qualified Success?" (John Hillier) deals with assessment of learning. "Towards a Strategy for Lifelong Guidance to Support Lifelong Learning and Work" (A. G. Watts, Stephen McNair) proposes guidance as a support for individuals within changing organizational structures.
