The Post-Pandemic Campus
Season 7 of Ten with Ken opens with a 5-part series looking at Forward-Looking Facilities, and the ways that campus design and architecture have responded to the lessons learned during the pandemic.
In part 1, "The Post-Pandemic Campus," Ken reviews the turbulence and shifting context we've all learned to expect, and warns that the future will be even more fluid, thanks to climate change, extreme weather, zoonotic viruses and more. COVID19 thrust our society, and our institutions, a full decade into the future, forcing us to adopt technologies and remote approaches to work and learning, whether we were ready or not. Ken also showcases this video from Centennial College, "Learn Your New Way," which still gives him goosebumps after 100 viewings.
No matter how you slice it, "the college campus is no longer at the centre of the education universe" -- although more about that in upcoming episodes!
