201: E-learning or E-larming? The Digital Turn in Canadian University Planning Programs

October 01, 2014

11:30am – 12:30pm

The digital revolution has caused a paradigm shift in Canadian society. This session will consider the implications of the Information Age on planning education. While communication is a cornerstone of the planning profession, the way we communicate has shifted dramatically.

Incoming students are plugged in, internet savvy and experience the world though their fingertips. And the university is changing: multi-media classrooms, e-learning, digital admissions and record-keeping are arguably remaking the university from the ground up. Join a planning program director/ instructor and current students in a conversation about learning in the digital era.
