In this episode, we are delighted to be joined by world renowned Professor of Educational Technology & Media and Director for the Centre of Teaching & Learning at the University of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada – Dr. Alec Couros!

Recognised for his impactful work across the world on effective practices around digital learning, Alec is a popular keynote speaker who has wowed hundreds of audiences with his keynote presentations and workshops to post-secondary, K-12, corporate, non-profit and youth audiences.

Joining our Head of Education, Mark Anderson, Alec shares many insights into education in Canada and on a global scale.

With responses to many questions, Alec discusses curriculum, the issues surrounding teacher retention and recruitment, and ideas around curriculum design and development to offset this.

Taking questions from EduTwitter from the likes of our own CEO, Al Kingsley, GESS award-winning Olly Lewis and Global EdTech Award winner, Emma Darcy, Alec was quick on his feet with helpful insights about the world of EdTech, AI in education, and Careers Education - where research needs to be undertaken and is grounded in years of innovative practice and sharing.

In the final part of the show, Alec was asked to share three AI tools that educators should think about exploring to help their practice – and of course, Alec being Alec, we had many more than just three! To find out what he said, you’ll have to watch the episode back, but you’ll be guaranteed some great recommendations.
