Descriptiopn
Group B Tour Departure From EdMedia Registration Desk at 3:00PM. When asked what they would value most from higher education, students respond that they seek active, authentic learning experiences and universities are responding by developing facilities that promote this type of learning. In this tour, you visit two state-of-the-art facilities for authentic learning at nearby Concordia University. The first, District 3, is an entrepreneurial centre that "brings people together to create, transform, and innovate" and offers the experience of working in a start-up operation. The second, the Centre for Teaching and Learning, includes formal and informal facilities to promote active learning, including flexible furnishings, flexible walls, writeable walls, wireless projection, and comfortable conferencing areas (among others). This tour provides participants with the opportunity to see both facilities and learn how educators use them to facilitate active, authentic, and engaged learning. The tour is free. We'll walk from the conference hotel to the facilities (about 15 minutes each direction). Space IS limited, so registration is required. If you have already registered for the conference, please email business@aace.org to reserve space at this tour.
