Description
Future-led Learning podcast strives to develop the learning culture at Aalto University and offers a platform to university educators to reflect their ideas about teaching and learning.
The Aalto University’s goal in teaching is to respond to future challenges by sparking the game changers of tomorrow. Increasing complexity and uncertain futures pose challenges for all education. Graduates of Aalto University need to be capable of grasping and tackling wicked problems related to e.g. sustainability both in their field as well as in multidisciplinary settings. This requires the ability to approach the challenges from multiple perspectives and to identify opportunities for solutions. In this podcast we take a look behind the scenes and discuss these themes with our teachers. The aim of this podcast is to support the well-being of the Aalto community and how we best do so by developing our approaches to teaching.
The podcast is hosted by pedagogical specialist Riikka Evans..
