During the past year, as heretofore, it has been the policy of the department to serve, as far as possible, all sections of the Province, particularly the more remote urban centres. Since funds for the work have been limited, an effort has been made to explore new media for the equalization of the educational opportunities offered by the University. In this connection emphasis has been placed upon the use and development of the radio and the directed study-group. In all phases of the work the main effort has been directed towards providing an educational programme with a constructive purpose and with some degree of continuity.

1938 Report to the President of the University

OECD- Paris, December 2008

Pre-conference questionnaire: technology and education future scenarios

What? How?

Keep technology and educational purpose tightly linked

Deployment focuses on:PedagogyExpanding access to

high quality learning experiences

Developing ways to capture information that will enable us to become even better teachers.

Invest in technology implementation that supports students as knowledge creators & analysts and mobile lifelong learners

Improve system usability, streamline data exchange, & facilitate content mobility

Build strong and ongoing relationships with our students.

Enable faculty to spend more time supporting student learning, not administering courses.

2008 Horizon Report: Critical Challenges

Trends point to need for innovation and leadership at all levels of the academy.

Higher education service expectations increasing: especially content delivery to mobile/personal devices

Collaboration pedagogies pushing need for new forms of interaction and assessment.

Need to provide formal instruction in new forms of visual, and technological literacy and content creation with today’s tools.

Ecoute (Listen) by Henri de MillerÉglise Saint-Eustache, ParisPhoto by M.N. Lamberson

Challenge for higher education

“The best teachers and researchers should be thinking about how to design courses in which technology enriches teaching rather than substitutes for it. And equally important, faculties need to concern themselves with the need to give their students the tools with which they can explore deeply as well as widely, with which they can discriminate, analyze, and create rather than simply accumulate.”

The Boyer Commission on Educating Undergraduates in the Research University

REINVENTING UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION: A Blueprint for America's Research Universities
