To kick off the series this fall, 蜜糖直播 Boulder welcomes learning innovation and education leader to talk about the value of at-scale learning. Gazi will share insights on creating innovative online programs while aligning institutional mission, priorities, business and instructional models to expand the impact of institutions.
The challenges with the future of work and education are indeed issues of scale and inclusion, especially in a technology-driven post-COVID world. Higher education institutions have an opportunity, and arguably a social responsibility, to utilize effective digital learning and create partnerships for affordability, scale and impact to reach all corners of the globe.
A variety of innovative business and learning models developed within the last decade have already changed the equation for many institutions and learners. These institutions exemplify a relentless commitment to affordability and access that led to impact at scale. What is the next impactful innovation that will enable our institutions to touch many more learners beyond those that walk on our campuses?
Gazi is the vice provost for learning innovation and digital education at Duke University. She oversees the offices of Learning Innovation and Continuing Studies, with responsibility for the development and execution of pedagogical innovation and digital education strategies, youth academic enrichment programs, and continuing education and lifelong learning offerings. Her higher education experience spans almost 30 years in four countries. Gazi has her doctorate in educational psychology.
This in-person presentation, which is free and open to the public, will be hosted in the Center for British and Irish Studies Room in the Norlin Library. A recording will be available online after the event.
