Some answers?

If you were able to plan a 10 year programme of trans-disciplinary research and technology (ICT) development:

'''1 What challenge would you address and what would your programme look like? ''' I would address the challenge that we have poor vision and analysis of how computers contribute to learning. The programme would be one of focus-group meetings for experts to analyse, represent and cross-reference the key contributions that technology makes to learning based on an analysis of human learning at the macro and micro scales.

'''2 What challenges can you see where there are identifiable questions to be answered? ''' What are the key episodes / events in micro and macro learning for individuals, groups and communities where technology can improve quality and effectiveness. How has technology contributed? What barriers to adoption have been noted?

'''3 What methods could be used to help to answer the questions? ''' Analysis and desk research which clarify the value of technologies in learning based on the research record.

'''4 How should we deal with complexity? ''' Effective and communicative descriptions of cases with dynamic, diagrammatic and conceptual summaries resulting in both academic and wider public documents.

'''5 What disciplines should collaborators come from? ''' Education, computing, psychology, sociology. Draft results should be cross-referenced with practitioner communities in all phases and sectors of education and dissenting voices accommodated.
