For me the 'next big thing' that a lot of people were talking about was Personal Learning Environments (as opposed to course silo based VLEs) and interestingly the physical learning space - how now that we have got the technology to offer WEB2.0 type functionality and a social-constructivist on-line experience that we should now be looking at how we can replicate that in the physical learning spaces. There were many many other themes and I'm only just un-knitting my pages of notes into something I can disseminate...
