Keynote Speakers
Dr. Hilda Freimuth is an Associate Teaching Professor at Thompson Rivers University, and the co-founder of TNIL - a social enterprise. In her keynote entitled 'Experiential Learning: The Way to World Peace', Dr. Freimuth will explore the concepts involved in experiential learning along with various Canadian examples that focus on Indigenous education. The keynote will include a hands-on audience activity to full engage in the experience as well.
Dr. Neil Leveridge is a distinguished Assistant Professor in the Department of Wood Science in the Faculty of Forestry at the University of British Columbia. With an extensive background in academia, he has previously held lecturer positions at Vantage College, UBC, National Taiwan Normal University, and Da Yeh University, Taiwan. Dr. Leveridge is dedicated to student success and well-being while constantly honing his instructional skills in order to provide an adaptive, efficient, and supportive learning environment. He has led and participated in workshops on student support, technology innovations, integration of technology into classroom situations, and enhancing curriculum designs and re-designs. In addition to instructional advancements, he has authored and co-authored publications in top educational technology journals, book chapters, and conference proceedings.
We invite scholars, researchers, educators, and graduate students in the field of education to submit proposals for an academic research presentation, panel or round-table discussion, or poster session on the importance of experiential learning in education. Hands-on learning with reflection warrants a closer investigative look as it helps students better connect knowledge learned in the classroom with real-life experiences.
We welcome all kinds of topics related to this theme and more, including but not limited to language teaching, teacher training, primary education, secondary education, technical education, assessment, policy, and more.
