Transformative Teaching
Abstract
Traditionally Higher Education Institutions are not known for their agility. The COVID-19 pandemic changed this with a rapid shift to virtual classrooms with facilitator forced to navigate new ways of teaching in a VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) world. This lightening talk will discuss the challenges of navigating this new terrain, the different facets of the real-time sensemaking journey, with key takeaways on how to equip students with the skills needed to withstand the challenge of this ‘new normal’ from resilience to critical thinking. It will discuss three core principles: transformative technologies; students as emerging leaders; and dialogic practices.
