We announced our Key-Speaker!

We announce our Key-Speaker Jan Spruijt for the International Conference “Teaching and Learning Through Cooperation with Business”.

Jan will present an article with subject “Beyond Education”
In the years to come, education will transform drastically. In fact, it is nothing more than plain optimism to assume that education won’t exist anymore in two decades from now. That is, education as we know it. Consequently, educators will need to move beyond the limitations of the current system to reshape a future in which learning and teaching are inextricably linked to industry. This presentation will present a list of common misconceptions among educators, which (irrational) behaviour makes everybody unconsciously hold fast to them and why the future generation is in desperate need for our generation to move beyond them. In other words: how would the world look like if it weren’t for – and how could the world like with many more – teams such as the team behind project UC-Crowd bending the boundaries of education?
