Innovative Learning is excited to welcome guest speaker, Dr. Eric Moore, as he delivers a keynote address that addresses how instructors can support their learners through flexibility without reducing high expectations and standards for student success.
Keynote Address: Rigor and UDL: Oil and Water?
Higher education is changing. Some bemoan the “loss of rigor” as schools pivot away from structures that put the onus of learning squarely on students and shift toward emphasis on higher quality teaching intended to make learning easier for more learners. Others profess the importance of these changes, arguing that change is overdue: “archaic practices” have been unnecessarily exclusionary for far too long. These views appear mutually exclusive. We can’t have rigorous, challenging learning experiences and also provide flexibility and learner support that enables everyone to learn and succeed. These are oil and water. Right?
In this interactive keynote, we will explore these assumptions and questions. What do we mean by rigor? Is it the same as challenge? Is it possible that flexible methods actually lead to higher standards and outcomes for our learners? What do neuroscience and cognitive science researchers have to say about it, and what’s it all to do with Universal Design for Learning? Join us for an engaging keynote of inquiry and dialogue you won’t want to miss!

Virgin, the play, is written, directed, produced and performed by Humber's very own Faculty of Liberal Arts professor, Alyson Renaldo. Through endless mental fumblings and 'impure thoughts', a woman relies on humour to answer the difficult question of what her place is in this world. The play premiered in Los Angeles, then had its Canadian premiere in Toronto. It is returning for a limited run at The Native Earth Performing Arts Centre, downtown Toronto, October 18 to 22.
