The Centre for Learning and Teaching at Dalhousie is pleased to be celebrating the 22nd Annual Dalhousie Conference on University Teaching and Learning (DCUTL) on May 2ndand 3rd, 2018.
This year’s conference theme is “Exploring the Future(s) of Higher Education: Supporting Inclusive Teaching Excellence.”
What are our visions for the future of higher education and how will we bring them to fruition? How do we prepare students for a future we cannot possibly fully envision? What is the role of our educational institutions in helping students to create the world they want to live in?
As a feature teaching and learning celebration during Dalhousie’s 200th Anniversary, the Dalhousie Conference on University Teaching and Learning will encourage dialogue about where we’ve been, and where we’re heading, in the higher education teaching and learning environment. What it means to know, to learn, and to teach has changed significantly over the last 20 years, yet some aspects of our collective and individual teaching and learning practices have not changed at all. And while there are many prognosticators about the future, some foretelling decline and others exploring exciting new frontiers, change is inevitable. Our choices about which pathways we will embrace is a crucial conversation for higher education.
The deadline for proposals has been extended until Friday, February 9, 2018.
