Description

In an era where careers span decades and the job market evolves at an unprecedented pace, the traditional model of education—front-loaded and finite—no longer suffices. Join Ryan Lufkin, Instructure's VP of Global Academic Strategy, for an illuminating conversation with Dr. Michelle R. Weise, author of Long Life Learning: Preparing for Jobs That Don’t Even Exist Yet, as they explore the imperative shift toward a lifelong learning ecosystem.

Dr. Weise will share her insights on how educational institutions can adapt to serve learners throughout their extended careers, emphasizing the need for flexible, accessible, and relevant learning opportunities. Together, they’ll examine strategies for embedding continuous learning into the core of educational design, ensuring students are equipped not just for today's roles but for the unpredictable demands of the future. This super session is essential for educators, administrators, and policymakers who are ready to reimagine education for the age of the 100-year career.
