Teaching Matters! Series - Finding a future beyond 鈥渁 return to normal鈥� on campus
Note: a recording of this session is available; please contact tlc@upei.ca.
Rather than returning to an imagined 鈥渘ormal鈥� that existed in pre-pandemic times, in this talk you are invited to explore the future of our teaching and learning environments. What do they look like? What should they look like? How are they organized, and in what ways should they be designed to be equitable, empowering, and flexible? Grounded in ongoing research projects examining student and faculty experiences with online and remote learning, studies speculating on the future of education, and a healthy dose of hope, this talk invites us to recognize that various pre-pandemic teaching, learning, and institutional practices considered to be 鈥渘ormal鈥� were problematic. What might be better futures for students, faculty, and institutions of higher learning, and how do they capitalize on technology while rejecting its solutionist tendencies?
