Core Skills for Lifelong Learning in the 21st-century
Cory Laverty, Education Library; and Nasser Saleh, Engineering and Science Library |
In your learning career so far you have focused on understanding content within a specific discipline. You should also be developing a set of core skills that will empower you in your future workplace and in your life. Lifelong learning skills encompass information literacy, problem solving, critical thinking, collaboration, communication, creativity, and innovation. Employers look for evidence of these skills when you apply for jobs and once you are employed, in your achievements and your interactions with others. This workshop will discuss different aspects of both lifelong learning skills and information literacy to help you identify how you can develop and articulate them for your future and your teaching. | Tuesday, December 4, 2012 2:30pm - 4:00pm B176 Mackintosh Corry, Seminar Room |
