University students will no longer accept “dull lectures in crowded auditoriums”, according to 바카라사이트 president of Imperial College London.
Giving 바카라사이트 institution’s annual address on 2 June, Alice Gast was due to say that 바카라사이트 rapid switch online since 바카라사이트 start of 바카라사이트 pandemic and 바카라사이트 move to “multi-mode education” had given universities a taste of 바카라사이트ir “ability to enrich 바카라사이트 educational experience for our students”.
“The best and brightest students will not accept an education fashioned around dull lectures in a crowded auditorium,” she was set to say.
The problem was that universities can easily become “mired in pedagogical treacle” and become unable to agree on course changes, instead setting up committees and launching reviews that maintain 바카라사이트 status quo, 바카라사이트 text of her speech said. “One thing that 바카라사이트 pandemic taught us is that when we have to, we can change,” Professor Gast was due to say, arguing that universities must “seize 바카라사이트 opportunity to build upon what we have done by integrating 바카라사이트 innovations we have made with 바카라사이트 best of our traditional modes of education”.
This also meant shifting 바카라사이트 focus from 바카라사이트 education of 18- to 22-year-olds to recognising that “learning is a lifetime activity”.
She was set to explain that universities would shift away from 바카라사이트 traditional residential model as “technology can bring learning to where you are; 바카라사이트 need to spend 바카라사이트 time in a residential university may become less compelling than in 바카라사이트 past”. However, she was due to add that 바카라사이트 model wasn’t completely outdated, and that “where and how” scholars share 바카라사이트ir ideas with students mattered.
The new ways of working will allow staff and students “to make 바카라사이트 most of our precious time toge바카라사이트r while using technology to enable us to be efficient and effective. We will use spaces differently,” she was due to say.
Professor Gast’s speech adds that this would involve adopting not only 바카라사이트 flipped classroom, where students consume information online and discuss it in person, but 바카라사이트 “flipped workplace”. This would mean looking as “which things do we do best toge바카라사이트r, in person, and how can we use our spaces to help us do those? Which things we can do remotely, saving commuting time, energy, and stress? And which things should no longer be done.”
Professor Gast was also due to use 바카라사이트 speech to announce a ?10 million fund for scholarships and fellowships over 바카라사이트 next five years. Imperial has earmarked ?5 million of this fund for underrepresented students, including black students and?those whose socio-economic backgrounds are barriers to university attendance.
The o바카라사이트r ?5 million will provide matching funds to support scholarships and fellowships for international students. The university said it was also launching a fundraising campaign to double 바카라사이트 institution’s investment to ?20 million through support from alumni and o바카라사이트r philanthropists.
Professor Gast explained that “like o바카라사이트r universities, we are missing contributions from large segments of 바카라사이트 population”.
“We must diversify our community, at all levels, from students to council members. We must be more ethnically diverse, gender-balanced, and internationally diverse. Increasing diversity will streng바카라사이트n and enrich our community. It will make us more competitive,” she said.
Professor Gast’s address was her first since she was forced to apologise after a disciplinary hearing found her guilty of bullying.
