Summary

As we use more new educational tools, resources, and methods to improve teaching and learning in various ways, it is becoming more vital to learn from and build upon each other’s effective practice and ideas across different educational contexts and settings. This will enable us, as a community of practice, to collectively keep inventing the better and brighter future of education in this time of ever-changing and increasingly fluid world.

In this workshop, the participants will learn and work together to engage in: 1) Overviewing how the radical transformation is being driven by emerging educational innovations, methods, and systems; 2) Exploring educational ecosystems that enable us to support and sustain more personalized, flexible, and on-demand lifelong learning; 3) Inquiring and reflecting on what, why, and how we learn in the age of Artificial Intelligence (AI); 4) Identifying some of the critical elements and components for Inventing the “next-generation” education in your own context(s).
The participants are required to bring your own wireless device (laptop, tablet, or smartphone) for individual and group activities online during the workshop session.
