What is #criticalwisdom and how are traditional learning models failing to cultivate it? Ben Nelson discusses how to shape the next generation of thinkers and the need for lifelong learning to adapt and thrive in an ever-changing world, on this episode of the MAGICademy podcast: https://hubs.ly/Q02WCjF50

“One of the greatest fallacies of education is that exposure equals knowledge... The way to learn how to effectively apply something, isn’t about knowing the theory or practice, but the ability to do it across all contexts.” Ben Nelson discusses the shortcomings of traditional education models and the changes that need to be made for true learning to occur in higher education institutions, with Carlos H. Garcia-Alvarado from CETYS Universidad. #innovationpartner #higheredicationinnovation #latamhighered Watch the webinar here: https://lnkd.in/e6DfQig7

What are the common challenges when designing an interwoven #generaleducation curriculum? We detail how we met these challenges when designing Minerva University's general education curriculum in our book excerpt from “Building the Intentional University” (MIT Press, 2017). Since publishing this book, we’ve helped many of our partners overcome similar challenges when creating their #genedcurriculum, like Escuela Bancaria y Comercial and Universidad de Las Américas (EC).
