Copenhagen Business School in Denmark (2014)
The 2014 Unconference was hosted by our good friends, who also happen to be prolific scholars, at the Copenhagen Business School in Denmark. https://www.cbs.dk/en
As this was only our second Unconference, we were in the early stages of experimenting with event length, balance of structure and organic flexibility, and participant expectations. We had a genuinely terrific group of passionate and engaged educator scholars who joined us for this event which, as always, is the key ingredient in any event’s success.
The 2014 Unconference was full of "hygge" not only in terms of the productive discussions we had with each other but also the genuinely warm and inviting Danish approach to the entire event.
We had 49 participant contributors from 10 different countries at our 2014 event. Their QIC submissions were rich and diverse, resulting in the following discussion streams used for our initial break out into groups:
(1) Looking “In” to Understand “Out”: Exploring the Disjoint Between Intended and Actual Learning Outcomes
(2) Examining Intersections Between Content and Format as Challenges to [and Opportunities for] Learning
(3) Creating Positive Educational Climates: A Structural and Faculty-Oriented Focus
(4) Stimulating Innovation and Learning: What are Our Next Steps?
(5) Understanding Technology-Based Challenges and Applications
(6) Exploring Innovative Yet Targeted Educational Design
