Putting the Work-Based Learner and Their Context Right at the Heart of Blended Learning in Executive Education

This talk will showcase experiential learning and teaching methods for Executive Education work-based learners, sharing how they are delivered in one blended module.

Nicola Patterson and Amy Stabler, Senior Lecturers in Executive Education at Newcastle University Business School explain the methodology and programme architecture for learners to:

  • Explore the content
  • Challenge their thinking and previous practice
  • Apply new ideas back into their workplace

Nicola and Amy will share practical methods including the use of technology, self and critically reflexive practice, practice knowledge exchange, and video summaries which place the learner and their context at the centre of sense-making.


The Good and Evil of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Higher Education: Don’t Fight It – Integrate It!

AI is not going away anytime soon. Like any tool, it is intended to make things easier: either used within acceptable social boundaries or to circumvent them.
 
If we can move past the fear of this stunningly capable technology, we can find ways to leverage and normalize the instructional power that tools like ChatGPT and others like it offer - much the same way we have all adopted search engines as a part of daily life.
 
Join this session, with Wendy Fritz, Executive Director, Teaching & Learning, Wisconsin School of Business, University of Wisconsin-Madison, to:

  • Better understand educational use of AI
  • Take away useful strategies, tools and techniques to get you on your way to benefitting from these advances
  • Understand good and the evil uses for AI tools like ChatGPT
  • Recognize when AI has been used by students
  • Obtain a guide with strategies, tools and activities using AI in higher education 

Sustaining Inclusive Excellence – the Impacts of Accelerating Online Education
 
The pandemic disrupted global higher education and accelerated the adoption and delivery of online education in universities and colleges. This once-thought temporary shift is here to stay - a permanent feature as its fulsome benefits are realized by students, faculty and leaders across the sector. 
 
In this session, we’ll hear from Wendy Purcell, Rutgers University and Harvard University on a) the impacts of innovation in curriculum and course design when delivered alongside more intentional pedagogy and b) the emerging opportunities that will help the sector both to advance and sustain inclusive excellence.
