We’ll be sharing five Virtually Connecting conversations from the Festival of Learning Conference being held in Vancouver on May 28-30, 2018. The theme this year is Higher Education: Handle with Care. This is an opportunity to think deeply about these key questions –
- How does care manifest – or fail to manifest – in our practices, policies, structures, spaces, technologies and pedagogies?
- How could we be better caretakers and caregivers in the context of post-secondary education and in service of student learning?
If you can’t make it to Vancouver, you can join any of the Virtually Connecting sessions to join into this conversation.
