Description

At UWA we are invigorating learning, teaching and research through digital transformation. This is evident in a number of Education Futures Scholarships awarded to various academics over the past two years.

In this one hour session, Learning Technologist Ezrina Fewings will discuss how the concept of ‘connectedness’ could be one pathway in encouraging students to explore experiential learning and apply their understanding to real world opportunities using various technologies.

Participants will hear about:

  • examples on how learners can engage technologies to increase their experiential learning.

  • examples on how educators can adopt Education 3.0 principles to expand their teaching practices.

  • successful projects funded by the Education Futures Scholarships program which engage connected learning.

Encouraging your learners to develop their critical thinking skills and become efficient connectors can be a great strategy towards Education 3.0 at UWA.
