Abstract:

Emerging technologies and social networks now provide us with the tools to dramatically transform our learning environments, and for the first time in history, learners now have the technical ability to learn anywhere, anytime, and with anyone. Yet, transitioning away from former pedagogical models based on expert-to-student information transfer will not be easy, and leaves us with many questions and challenges about the nature of teaching & learning. In this presentation, Dr. Couros will outline some of the most relevant changes in our digital environments and will provide possibilities for digitally-inspired pedagogies in higher education.
