Abstract
In our globalized and technologically driven world internationalisation and digital transformation present critical opportunities and risks for HEIs. While there is a growing body of research focusing on Education 4.0 (the use of emerging technologies combined with innovative teaching methods), discussions concerning how these changes impact learners and educators as well as how institutions can navigate these increasingly digitally connected and intercultural contexts is lacking. This seminar will focus on changes and challenges to interpersonal interactions, competency development, and social cohesion that result from increased digital engagement in HEI. This talk will shed light on the transformative impact of technologies on learning and development, but also unpack their implications (both good and bad) within multicultural contexts. The seminar aims to foster more inclusive and dynamic contemporary, digitally connected educational environments.
