In light of the enormous changes unfolding presently in the higher education landscape, we don’t have to look too far to recognize evidence of the transformation and redefinition of the construct of both teaching and learning in the information age. With a growing focus on teaching and learning at all levels of post-secondary institutions, innovation is reflective in the introduction of new learning spaces, state-of-the-art technology-enhanced education, and prominence given to discussions about adapting teaching and learning to the 21st century. Likewise, in this article we examine the reflections, ideas, conversations and exchanges inspired by the cohort’s plenary planning discussions and the current birth of innovation in reshaping Canadian higher education.
