In a recent interview with The evoLLLution, Catherine Chandler-Crichlow (University of Toronto) discusses how higher education can design rigorous, economically sustainable learning pathways. Chandler-Crichlow explains the ongoing shift towards modular and stackable learning experiences that create pathways that grow with learners. She also describes strategies institutions can use such as aligning learner values with institutional strategic priorities, scaling flexible offerings while prioritizing iteration, and recognizing continuing education units as “innovation engines” for the broader academic mission. “In a world where learning never stops, the pathways we build today must be ready for tomorrow—and the many tomorrows that follow,” explains Chandler-Crichlow.
