At On the Verge: Debating the Future of University Teaching, May 1 and 2 on the UWindsor campus, University of Windsor faculty, instructors, administrators, and students will be among the presenters who will take up the challenge of predicting what’s next—where university teaching is headed in the next 10 to 40 years.

A special feature this year is the day-long Provosts’ Forum on University Teaching, where 16 panelists from seven universities will offer positive and negative visions of the future of university teaching. The panelists – who range from graduate students to provosts – will focus on teaching and learning now and soon: what they envision, dread, and what they’re doing about it.
