“You can’t use an old map to explore a new world.” — Albert Einstein
When it comes to conversations about innovation and education, the above quote is one of our favorites. As our world continues to grow and change, old maps or old ideas can be quite useful and innovative. Yet sometimes they can be limiting and overt obstacles to our ability to reimagine or see things anew.
Welcome to Reimagining Teaching and Learning, a series of webinars, cases, and stories showcasing new ways of looking at the practice of teaching and learning.
Each month, we will walk through topics with a variety of subject-matter experts for an in-depth analysis and conversation to be shared via webinars, blog posts, and case studies.
Do you want to collaborate with us on a webinar or blog post? Reach out to highered@d2l.com with your idea!
