SESSION 5) High Touch High Tech Learning Revolution
There is a growing consensus that our next generation must develop the capacity to respond to global challenges such as climate change and economic inequality through revolutionary changes in education. In order to bring about fundamental change to the mass produced, outdated and ineffective education model, High Touch High Tech (HTHT) learning, which incorporates cutting-edge technology such as AI, coupled with amplified focus on student-teacher connection, should be explored further. For this purpose, HTHT 2021, which was hosted by TV Chosun and Education Commission Asia this year with 120 global experts invited, caused a ripple effect internally and externally. Furthering the discussion from HTHT 2021, this session will focus on consolidating efforts in the hopes of building a HTHT global consortium.
