I recognized today that my institution is at the very early stages of getting serious about our role in reconciliation when compared to other institutions at the table.

Regardless of the province we are from and the type of institution, we have the same issues, struggles and hopes for the future.

Hearing from D2L on the future of technology in learning

What is the role of research (applied) in the College and Polytech space and how to effectively deploy team members to sustainably achieve that outcome.

I enjoyed the D2L discussion and how it was moderated! The conversation felt like it was moving and yet enough information was allowed to be exchanged, if you follow my meaning.
Ian’s information is always meaningful and glad he had a chance to share it.

2023-10-16 23:25:56 UTC

I realized that collaboration with other Academic Institutions needs to be ongoing.
The pace at which society and technology is changing is going to be a challenge.
Perhaps a more open exchange of information and curriculum between institutions would be very beneficial to keep pace with the fast paced changes.

Up-skilling was needed for promotion but now is it needed to tread water

The absence of future talent & what is the future sustainable underlying business/economic model of higher education in Canada.

How can we use AI to enhance the learning experience.

Student Optimization

2023-10-16 23:26:44 UTC

I think John’s comment about ensuring we put students at the centre of technology optimization is worth exploring further. Many institutions run not just to classrooms but to administration in terms of optimization, so where do these things intersect? How can an optimization initiative benefit students, faculty and operations?

Group discussion.

Unclear directions both from advance education and at the federal level in terms of international student education

More small group discussions

2023-10-16 23:28:45 UTC

I’m relatively new to this world having been an elementary and then high school teacher for 25 years, but I guess the question is…what does the new learner need most? Mind you, I believe that is about student supports, but can it also be around those micro-credentials and the potential easing of those pathways?

Culture and Capital

2023-10-16 23:29:02 UTC

Getting funding for the physical and digital infrastructure needed for enhanced and sustainable learning, and finding the balance of driving more change in a staff culture that has been pushed very hard in the last few years.

More group discussion.

2023-10-16 23:29:13 UTC

My focus is on whether or not I am working in a collaborative and mentoring style of leadership to hold up my faculty in a good way. To retain the team long term.

2023-10-16 23:30:01 UTC

More sharing from eachother on some of the challenges and successes

2023-10-16 23:30:28 UTC

Producing while keeping true to the guidelines set out by our elders. My position is one of production essentially. It’s really one of opportunity, with a number attached to producing that opportunity

More opportunities to network with this talented group of individuals.

2023-10-16 23:30:44 UTC

The best way to address and prepare for AI tech.

2023-10-16 23:42:38 UTC

We require a critical review and deeper duscussion about reconciliation. What does it mean? Have we come to terms with genocide and the impact on Indigenous Peoples.
