Possibilities at the Nexus of Pedagogy, Technology, and Access
CAUCE-CNIEConference
TARGET: EDUCATION 3.0
Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with senior members of the education community at one of the
premier events of the year. The Canadian Association for University Continuing Education (CAUCE)
and Canadian Network for Innovation in Education (CNIE) 2016 Conference is a cost-effective way
for you to engage FACE-TO-FACE with key decision makers from public, private and post-secondary
institutions from Canada’s pre-eminent institutions.
The Conference
Close to 250 leaders in education and technology-enabled learning will gather in Waterloo to explore
the shifting directions for the future of education.
Technology continues to change the way we learn, the way we
teach, and the way we access information. New possibilities to
engage students and improve their learning experiences are
enabled by advancements in technology and alternate approaches.
Creative pedagogy coupled with openly shared digital resources are
inspiring educators to explore new paths. This conference will spur
conversations about current innovations as well as the implications
and opportunities for future innovations.
Our Theme
Our theme (Target: Education 3.0 – Possibilities at the Nexus of Pedagogy, Technology, and
Access) will examine the forces exerted by technological change, societal demands, and ground-
breaking research on the educational landscape. These forces are reshaping the way we create, access,
and even think about learning. The four streams we will focus on are:
Learning Effectiveness & Innovation
In a world of rapid technological changes, it is easy to get caught up in the latest fads. What
emerging trends will really make a difference in the world of education? When does innovation
truly equal effectiveness?
Learning Environments &Technology
New technologies are creating vast opportunities for change in both physical and virtual learning
environments. What will the next generation learning environments look like? How do we make
good choices about how to spend scarce budget dollars?
Marketing
Educators need to embrace emerging trends and technology to remain vital, while integrating
the right tools and techniques to achieve our goals. Demographics are changing, our learners
are becoming more sophisticated, devices are always on, and noise is persistent. How can we cut
through the everyday clamour? How do we measure effectiveness?
Continuous Learning & Professional Development
In today’s employment market, people need to continuously learn and grow in order to remain
relevant. We, as educators, cannot ignore the massive shift in who our learners are, and what they
need to be successful. How do we design programs to meet their needs? How do we, our learners,
partners and employers judge success?
