Upcoming event on the changing pedagogy and economics of higher education

Posted on March 15th, 2014

On April 9, 2014, UBC will be hosting Dr. Tony Bates, an e-learning and distance education expert, and Eric Grimson, the Chancellor for Academic Advancement and a professor of computer science and engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for a discussion on how developments around technology, learning research, student demographics, and macroeconomic forces are impacting higher education. The speakers will discuss how these developments are likely to result in changes to the current predominant teaching model and methods of assessment, curricular structures, length of degree, use of the campus and learning spaces, and the increasing market differentiation between institutions.
