3-2-1 TUESDAYS WITH MS NIV

Issue #119, 18th October 2022

Choices and voices, in person and online, tutoring and mentoring, exams and individualised expectations, technology and pedagogy… it is no more an either/or world in learning and education. It is a yes… and… version of learning that we are moving towards. More than classrooms, more than institutions, more than content. What are some of the key words of future of learning? What is it now that we have included in the post pandemic vision of education? Here is a glimpse.

Two Thoughts of the Week

‘The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.’ –Alvin Toffler

 ‘Don’t just teach your children to read. Teach them to question what they read. Teach them to question everything.’ –George Carlin

Even before the global pandemic, universities around the world were facing a wave of change. The rapid evolution of digital technology has produced societal changes and different expectations in our learners. The lockdowns in the UK and the pivot to remote working threw these changes into sharp relief and ignited a heated discussion about the relative values of in-person sessions and online activity. In this talk, I aim to demonstrate that there is a false dichotomy between “face to face” and “online” and that the power has shifted from universities to learners in ways that have been supported by advances in connectivity. Finally, I will discuss how universities can reinvent themselves to lead by example in the climate emergency and increase participation through accessibility and flexibility to create work-ready graduates who are willing and able to participate as citizens.
