"What is the Future of Learning?: Visions of Education in Our Changing Learning World!" with keynote speaker Dr. Curtis Bonk

Description

Faculty Forward, a Whiting School of Engineering, Engineering for Professionals faculty development program funded by the Johns Hopkins DELTA Grant Initiative, is proud to present "What is the Future of Learning?: Visions of Education in Our Changing Learning World!" with keynote speaker Dr. Curtis Bonk, a professor of Instructional Systems Technology at Indiana University - Bloomington.

These days seem ripe for gazing into a crystal ball and pondering what human learning will look like five, 10, or even 25 or more years into the future. How will we learn? Where will we be learning? And who, if anyone, will we be learning with? It's time to put away those crystal balls, magic lamps, and astrology charts for a moment and listen in as Dr. Bonk details his visions of the future of learning.

We all have witnessed the numerous ways learning has been changing during the past few years—learning is more open, flipped, mobile, global, online, blended, massive, visual, game-like, immersive, digital, free, tactile, modifiable, comfortable, adventurous, and perhaps even more personal—but that is just a brief glimpse of what the exciting adventure known as human learning will look like in the decades to come.

In this talk, Dr. Bonk will offer his predictions of the future of learning as influenced by innovations in learning technology, instructional approaches, and the spaces and places for learning to occur. Learning is changing. It's time to join the movement.

Please join a reception and this exciting keynote on the future of learning. In addition, the DELTA Grant/Faculty Forward team will introduce the program and its inaugural participants.
