Interuniversity Conference on Education (ICE) 2011

On October 15, Interuniversity Conference on Education (ICE) 2011 will be happening simultaneously at McGill, McMaster, Quest, UBC, and Waterloo. During this event, a speaker from each university will be shown at all other host universities over a live internet video stream, showcasing a talk on the topic of innovating education. An interactive discussion across all universities will be facilitated throughout the event over Twitter. Following these talks, UBC’s ICE will engage its delegates in a series of talks, panels, and workshops on topics spanning from the knowledge versus skills debate, the future of evaluations and grading, and the use of problem-based learning in the classroom. These diverse topics will aim to engage not only post-secondary students and professors, but also both high school students and teachers, as well as the general public interested in innovating education.

About the Author: Eric Yip

Eric is a 3rd year Communications student at SFU. He listens to everything that is out there as long as it sounds good (don't believe it? check out his ipod). He can play the piano, drums and is learning the guitar. He's a huge sports fan and can talk to anyone about any sports out there, even cricket! Sadly, he watches more sports than he plays but he does play hockey and tennis pretty well. He hopes all his sports knowledge comes in handy one day as he wishes to be a sports broadcaster in the future.
