New Educational Responsibilities in the Digital Era

Session Type: Invited Speaker Session

Abstract

The digital revolution is changing our work, associations, learning and all the ways we obtain information. Such functions have become even more critical given the current pandemic situation which has affected students’ learning efficacy on a global scale, sped up digitalization of virtual teaching and assessment across countries, and will continue to change how educators understand and practice educational responsibilities during and well after the unpredictability of the pandemic fades. What are the emergent educational responsibilities in this digital era and how do we take these responsibilities to support youth and adults alike in benefiting from lifelong learning are essential questions to be addressed and discussed in this session.
