Join us at the Annual EXCITE Summit on June 25-26 at the Toronto Public Library Reference Library to be a part of a transformative experience dedicated to advancing digital trust and innovation. Register here https://lnkd.in/gt4npavb This event is designed for positive #ChangeAgents – leaders who illuminate the way and manage the friction of stepping outside the status quo for benevolent ends. In our opening keynote, David Bray, PhD will explore how we might adopt a "caveat internet" mindset, similar to "caveat emptor," to evaluate online content and information critically. At the same time, Dr.Bray argues that it's crucial to unlearn the flawed lessons about data from the past decade. Data isn't the new oil; instead, we must promote individual and community-centred approaches to digital trust and data. To advance these approaches, we must provide accessible, understandable tools for information discernment and promote "digital dignity" for all. Positive #ChangeAgents can help drive this across sectors, geographies, and diverse groups invested in these topics. What to Expect at the EXCITE Summit: * Keynote by Dr. David Bray, PhD: Gain a global perspective on digital trust in the age of AI from the Executive Director of the People-Centered Internet coalition.

Nice case study of earning and creating microcredentials (in this case for professional development). It highlights the kind of experience we're working to create for durable skills as well as the importance of assessment (or some form of validation) of the skills listed in the credential CarolinaCrED Cathy Lacey #skills #microcredentials https://lnkd.in/eqm7eAbB

A new report by IDP Education Ltd reveals that Canadian international education professionals are facing serious challenges due to recent policy changes, with nearly 90% citing negative impacts on their programs. While 67% of survey respondents agree that government intervention is needed to manage rising international enrolments, 68% disapprove of the recent suite of policies, including caps on study permits and limitations on post-graduation work permits. As Simon Emmett noted: "Collaboration between government and institutions is essential to avoid long-term damage to the sector." https://lnkd.in/e6KsadPe
