2013 Conference Theme: Pedagogical Change in Higher Education: Building New Models of Learning and Teaching

Supporting Active Learning & Technological Innovation in Science Education (SALTISE) is a consortium composed of faculty from McGill University, Dawson College, John Abbott College and Vanier College, funded by a Chantier 3 institutional grant from the Ministry of Education, Sports and Leisure (MELS).

The theme of the SALTISE 2013 Annual Conference on June 10th and 11th is “Pedagogical Change in Higher Education: Building New Models of Learning and Teaching.” The conference will feature leading researchers in education, learning, and educational technology from Singapore, Spain, Canada, and our local Québec network. Our first keynote speaker, Manu Kapur, Head of the Learning Sciences Lab at the National Institute of Education of Singapore, conceptualized the notion of “Productive Failure” ─ a new way of thinking about improving learning and teaching. His current research extends this line of work to the investigation of pedagogical change, which Kapur will highlight in his keynote. Furthermore, he will focus on the steps we need to take to support new approaches to learning and teaching in the 21st Century ─ i.e., the “Knowledge Age”.

We look forward to you joining us June 10th and 11th for two full days of workshops, keynote sessions, paper and poster presentations, and networking with your pedagogical peers!

Best wishes,
The SALTISE team
