Learning and Teaching - Educating the Next Generation

We live in a rapidly changing and complex social and digital world – how is this changing the way we think about the kind of curriculum, pedagogy and assessment needed to educate future generations? As you interact with other students on this module, and engage critically with a range of media and published research, you’ll consider current views of education across the globe. From there, you’ll start to form your own vision of how educators can effectively prepare students for their place in the future.
