Designing online learning environments
Online learning is becoming increasingly important. The design of online learning environments should follow the same thoughtful and multi-disciplinary approach that offline spaces for learning need.

Concept of the city
Presented by Flash Seminars & OpenGrounds.
The human race for the first time in her history has became a predominately urban species. By 2050, its believed that 75% of humanity will be city dwellers. Cities enable the collaboration, constant flow of new information, and ideas that make humanity shine most brightly. They also starkly showcase modern challenges: disease, congestion and social tensions.
Concept of the City, the four month series will bring together University faculty, students and community members to discuss urban ideals and urban challenges. Topics and knowledgeable hosts will vary each week, and all our welcome to join the conversation.
