BREAK-OUT SESSIONS

May 25th and 26th
Time: TBA
Host: Oddgeir Tveiten & Thomas Bauer
Communication concerns us at different levels when reflecting on con temporary challenges in higher education: The escalation of artificial intelligence, new education technologies more generally, the looming challenge of media literacy in a world marked by uncertainties and deteriorating trust in institutions. In this break-out session we will pursue some of the main topics of the 2023 WLS progam in more detail.
Time: TBA
Host: Vidar Mortensen & Phil Komarny
Innovation in higher education concerns more than education technology — a lot more. And not everything concerns commercial success, either. In this break.out session we listen to- and learn from Phil Komarny´s approach to re-designing learning pathways at Maryville University of St. Louis, USA.

What is the reality of the UN SDGs by 2023 — seven years before the “deadline”? Everyone is referring to them, from radicals to the Davos World Economic Forum returnees. We all know the term “sustainable development” and where it came from, what it once promised. Does it make more sense right now to think of the SDGs as an empty shell, rhetoric for the oil companies of the world, political sloganeering? What alternatives do we have in education, as educators? If “sustainable development” still is the answer it may be high time to ask whether the question is still the same?
