CAUCE Conference 2021 - Reimagining the role of CE in Higher Education


Date :  du 25-05-2021 au 27-05-2021

Appel à communications ouvert jusqu'au :  21-02-2021

Lieu :  à distance

Modalité :  intégralement à distance

Organisation :  Canadian Association for University Continuing Education (CAUCE)

The CAUCE annual conference and meeting brings together professionals in university continuing education from across Canada to share ideas and best practices, deliberate on important topics, develop and strengthen networks, and to reflect on the place of continuing education in broader society.

Through guest speakers, panel discussions, conference presentations, and workshops, attendees engage with others for their own professional development and to spark ideas for new ways to improve, innovate, or build upon their work in their respective institutions.

The annual CAUCE conference brings professionals together across roles, generations, and geography to celebrate our respective contributions, share our challenges, and to bring greater awareness to the contributions of our profession on a national scale. For 2021, we have the challenge of connecting in new ways due to restrictions related to COVID-19. We intend to leverage this opportunity to engage with the CAUCE community in new ways and to re-imagine the CAUCE conference.



Programme : 

In recent history, post-secondary institutions have not seen continuing education(CE) departments as imperative to their core purpose. On many campuses, continuing education units serve as outlying academic or non-academic departments. However, CE has re-emerged as central to the future of higher education due to the new economic realities, social issues, the global pandemic, increased demands for learner pathways, emerging micro-credentials, and changing industry trends.

Shifting student needs and a recovering economy have the higher education sector standing on shifting ground. At the same time, post-secondary institutions are challenged to implement meaningful anti-racist, decolonizing, Indigenized, and equity, diversity, and inclusion-supporting curriculum. Consequently, universities are expected to be more responsive than ever before. In responding to this challenge, CE has much to offer including processes grounded in real-world realities and needs; a greater flexibility than the core university programming; and deep connections within communities and groups that comprise the fabric of Canadian society. Continuing education is a living lab where strategies that work are used to meet the needs of learners and employers in timely and practical ways.

Call for presentations

Continuing Education (CE) is an exciting and challenging place to work requiring innovative problem solving, entrepreneurial thinking, agile teams that respond to industry demand, and strong, diverse partnerships.

Industry professionals from across Canada will gather virtually over three half-days of networking, idea exchange and social activities. Keynote speakers, presenters, panelists and conference participants will engage in discussions around new economic realities, social issues, the global pandemic, increased demands for learner pathways, emerging micro-credentials, and changing industry trends.

We want to hear how you are reimagining your practice within your CE unit to improve the careers and lives of people in your community and beyond.

Theme

However, CE has re-emerged as central to the future of higher education due to the new economic realities, social issues, the global pandemic, increased demands for learner pathways, emerging micro-credentials, and changing industry trends.

Evolving student needs and a recovering economy have the higher education sector standing on shifting ground. At the same time, post-secondary institutions are challenged to implement meaningful anti-racist, decolonizing, Indigenized, and equity, diversity, and inclusion-supporting curriculum.
