Higher education in times of disruption: Instructor Creativity in the Classroom

Whether we are talking about the repercussions of a pandemic, climate change, political crises, economic instability or the unprecedented advances of artificial intelligence, our societies are facing major challenges. These disruptions require us to rethink the way we do things and the way we live. How can our institutions reconsider their approaches to teaching and learning in this new period of disruption? To what extent will these challenges incentivize our universities to adopt innovative, engaging, inclusive and equitable teaching practices?

• What disruptions are affecting academia the most?
• What effects are these disruptions having on knowledge production, learning and teaching?
• How will these disruptions challenge universities to transform themselves?
• What might the university of the future look like?

This panel invites leaders in teaching and learning from the University of Ottawa and Carleton University to discuss these important issues.

Join us for this panel and contribute to the discussion.

Bilingual event with simultaneous translation in both French and English.
