Integrating sustainability and digitalization in teaching and learning
In collaboration with Excited SFU and GoForIT
Monday 25 November (14:00-17:00)
Abstract
Candidates from higher IT education will have an important role in solving the great societal challenges of the future. For this, the candidates need relevant competence on sustainability and digitalization. To facilitate these efforts, there is a significant need for teaching staff and study program leaders to exchange experiences and build shared knowledge about good practice and useful resources related to sustainability and digitalization. In the current situation there is increasing pressure for higher education institutions to save resources while maintaining a high quality of teaching and learning. This makes it especially important to share knowledge and experiences on how to integrate sustainability and digitalization topics into courses and study programs in effective and efficient ways, considering the possibilities offered e.g. by AI and state-of-the-art pedagogical approaches.
Questions to be addressed in the workshop include:
What are relevant and state-of-the-art pedagogical approaches and frameworks for integrating sustainability in higher IT education?
What are the implications for higher IT education from the increasing demands for sustainability reporting in industry and public sector?
The workshop will be the fourth in a row of similarly themed workshops held in conjunction with NIKT. With these workshops we seek to contribute to engagement and continuity the IT education community related to the integration of sustainability and digitalization in teaching and learning.
