Twenty-first century learners cannot be expected to approach uOttawa in the ways that nineteenth or twentieth century learners did, nor will they tolerate outdated academic program offerings and inflexible learning technologies.
Our students and faculty – those of today and of tomorrow – demand that we be nimble, and that we seize every new opportunity to create, share and discover knowledge, proactively exploring new pedagogies and learning platforms as they emerge. Consequently, developing an institutional culture and toolset to enable rapid, responsive, practical and flexible iteration is critical to ensuring uOttawa's continuing relevance and excellence in the decade to come.
