Beyond technical skills
This perspective piece addresses the rapid integration of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education and the imperative to move beyond a purely technical understanding towards fostering critical AI literacy among students. Despite the benefits of AI in enhancing learning experiences and preparing students for a tech-driven workforce, concerns exist regarding misinformation, diminished critical thinking, ethical dilemmas, and a la…
Faculty Perspectives on First-Year Experiential Education in Large Humanities and Social Sciences Courses
Background Experiential education (EE) is a pedagogical approach based on the premise that certain knowledge can be acquired more effectively through experience rather than lecture-based classroom content. Despite the well-documented benefits of EE across all levels of higher education, existing literature often focuses on small upper-year postsecondary courses. Purpose To identify and analyze key instructor motivations, methods, barriers, and fa…
Advocating for blended pedagogy as a shift to more holistic inclusive geography
Applied geography represents the dialectic relationship between theory and application (Pacione 1999 Pacione, M. (1999). Applied geography: in pursuit of useful knowledge.Applied Geography,19(1), 1–12. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0143622898000319[Crossref] , [Google Scholar], 2004 Pacione, M.

Should you be using mobile technologies in teaching? Applying a pedagogical framework
The extent of how mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, are seamlessly incorporated into the personal day-to-day life is not often considered by University instructors. Unfocused incorporation of mobile technologies into the classroom can de-emphasize intended learning objectives if students struggle to use the technology itself or by acting as a distraction. The effective inclusion of mobile technology is not a simple process as the i…
Experiential learning, community engagement, and student experience
Key Messages Field courses are important for geographical education and for developing transferable skills. Community partners add richness and depth to student experiences in field course design. Students are regarded as possessors of their own learning experience, with the role of the instructor as a facilitator
Blended learning with international students
While the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) continues to transform learning, international migration and the increasing complexity of intercultural exchange and communication continue to do so as well. In this paper, we connect the dots and ask how ICTs can be used to enhance the learning experiences of international students. Using a case study of a new program for first-year international students at a Canadian university…
Labour geographies on the move
Finding their way”
The city has become the context for a dialectical relationship not only between the global and the local but also between migrants and the host society. Whilst there is considerable work on migrant integration, integration is rarely examined from the perspective of the workplace, or from a geographic perspective, which problematizes the spatiality of migrant workers’ experiences. This article studies migrant workers in low-skilled jobs, with a fo…
