A l’occasion de ses 20 ans, le Louvain Learning Lab, anciennement Institut de Pédagogie universitaire et des Multimédias, a convié le 13 novembre 2015 l’ensemble de la communauté universitaire à prendre part à un exercice prospectif et collaboratif. Près de 100 étudiants, professeurs, membres de l’administration, mentors, tuteurs et citoyens ont répondu à l’appel pour imaginer l’université de demain et élaborer des pistes d’actions pour le futur. Ils ont conçu et présenté des projets audacieux plaçant l’enseignement universitaire au coeur de la société de 2035. Quelles sont les tendances actuelles dans lesquelles se nichent les formes de l’enseignement supérieur en 2035 ? Quelles compétences pour les dirigeants, les enseignants et les étudiants pour à la fois contribuer à l’émergence de l’innovation et participer à son instauration dans les structures ? Telles sont les questions abordées dans ce carnet.

Inclusion of STEAM Innovation Spaces: A Critical Issue for Learners with Disabilities
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC
Rating
0.0 stars

The fourth industrial revolution has provided a wide range of flexible physical and digital technologies that continue to enhance the teaching and learning of STEAM. Incorporating STEAM and building makerspaces, Fablabs (Fabrication Labs), and STEAM labs as part of the educational curriculum can serve as the right environment to empower learners to transform their ideas into tangible digital or physical solutions. However, the standards way of development of spaces such as FabLabs does not always guarantee accessible learning opportunities for learners with disabilities as they may require additional accommodations to be able to access and use the technology tools. This article confirms that children with disabilities face multiple challenges with inclusivity and accessibility. Creating inclusive innovation spaces that support, promote, and accelerate learning is essential and requires an understanding of the application of user-centered design, universal design, and utilization of local and global networks to create solutions that increase accessibility and create an inclusive environment.

Introduction to Incubation for Sustainability Innovation
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

Innovation and incubation are no longer limited to technological or science-based business perspective, rather, there has been a move towards social innovations and incubators focused on supporting ventures to develop these types of innovations. These innovations are important for society as they focus on public interest and common good and in strengthening the bonds of trust between citizens. They also find new solutions and approaches to address sustainability issues within societies.
Ventures that look to develop social innovations are often driven by social entrepreneurs, who form social ventures (SEs) and they often work through a market based approach. They take on the risks and efforts to create a positive change in society. As such, their main goal is not profit, rather to implement widespread improvements in society.
This e-study will guide readers through the incubation process, explore the concept of social innovation and the situation in Hong Kong as well as how incubators fit in with the greater social innovation ecosystem and contribute to sustainability.
