Let’s get the ducks in a row for 2022

2 Impactful waves

• Quality online learning that is more flexible, diverse and mobile. Make this "The Year"? 

 

• Design and create the pedagogical journey before the students arrive.  Focus on enabling their success during the semester by great online teaching.  Now is the moment!​

                                    Hanging on…Zero gains?  
​
​Declutter – make space for the new and constructive… 
Not ‘technology’! Not ‘content’!  We have enough of both for now. How about a strong focus on learning experiences instead?
Review ‘campus’: Do you really want your education to be defined by the long-term physical structure around you? What happens if you think of the place called ‘online’ as a social and professional community of learning…

Perspectives 

​Learners: 
We know the future is different from the past, but in 2022 it’s even harder to see the pathways. Deploy your education to prepare for long productive lives in great social and economic uncertainty. Grasp the way forward. Learn differently to go your own way - live and contribute.
 
 Teachers: 
Researchers and lecturers are the most passionate and knowledgeable people on the planet.  Look what they did in a crisis!  You have the power to truly transform education in 2022. If not now, then when?

Initiatives 

​Find your future. Think future first. Involve everyone. Define it, model it and move the vision forward. What could go your way?

​Find new collaborators. Climb out of your box and take a wider perspective. Have a global jam?

Make your choices. Line up your ducks. Quack loudly.
​Swim forward fast with others in 2022.
