Arqus Online Teaching Innovation Workshop: “Teaching (for) Future Skills in Higher Education”

2nd May2024

Type: Arqus Teaching Innovation

Format: Workshop

Open to: Academics & researchers, Teachers

The Arqus Alliance invites teachers to participate in the online teaching innovation workshop “Teaching (for) Future Skills in Higher Education” by trainer Beatriz Kogler from the University of Graz. The online workshop will take place on 2nd May 2024 from 09:30 to 11:30 CEST.

The 21st century is, among other things, characterised by a technology-driven economy and society. Disruptive advances can happen anytime, as the emergence of AI tools like ChatGPT have impressively shown. In such dynamic and rapidly changing times, not only subject knowledge is key to a successful career but also general intra- and interpersonal skills are required to effectively participate and quickly adapt in today’s world of work.

Thus, the demand of aligning higher education teaching with the so-called future skills or 21st century skills has been around for a while now. But what exactly is meant by the terms “future skills”, “21st century skills”, the “4 Cs” or the “7 Cs”? What can higher education teachers do in order to foster the development of these skills among their students and is it worth the effort? What prerequisites are necessary at the organisational level and what can universities really achieve?

The workshop will tackle these questions by providing input and opportunity for critical discussion in the plenary and small groups. Peer exchange and peer learning will be emphasized throughout the event.

Teachers from all Arqus Alliance universities are invited to share their approaches and practices regarding teaching (for) future skills in higher education.
