How can technology support changing education for a changing economy? How will education itself change in the coming years? How will these changes be affected by new technologies? Come find out some of the answers at this Visionary Seminar!
As we are all aware, technology is becoming increasingly omnipresent in society. Thanks to increased digitalization, computers complete our routine tasks for us, freeing our time up for more complicated undertakings. Of course, we often still perform these with support from technology.
All these changes don’t just affect our daily lives; they’re transforming how we do our jobs and the very essence of our careers. Indeed, the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs report tells us that jobs supported by tech will require more foundational skills, including complex problem solving, critical thinking, and creativity. This means that these are the skills young people will need to master now in order to be ready to tackle the world as adults.
Our current education system, however, is not yet optimized to meet these demands. In this Visionary Seminar, we question how technology can support radical shifts in education in order to better align with societal needs, namely:
(1) from passive to interactive learning;
(2) from individual to collaborative learning;
(3) from simple to complex learning; and
(4) from one size fits all to personalized learning.
If we can accomplish these shifts successfully, we’ll not only facilitate more interesting education, we'll promote lifelong learning.
