The ways in which undergraduate students learn – and want to learn – are changing, according to speakers at an upcoming event celebrating academic innovation at York University.
On May 9, you are invited to join the second annual celebration of innovation in teaching and learning at York University. You will hear colleagues discuss how a number of innovative eLearning, experiential education and first-year transition projects are improving the student experience at York.
