The Teaching and Learning Innovation Center (TLiC), represented by Pak Defta, recently participated in the Acer Edu Summit 2026, a premier gathering of global educators, technology pioneers, and thought leaders dedicated to shaping the future of the classroom. The summit featured insightful sessions from esteemed speakers, including global education strategists and AI integration experts, who explored the delicate balance between rapid technological advancement and the core human elements of pedagogy. The discussions delved deep into how hardware and software ecosystems can bridge the digital divide while fostering inclusive and future-ready learning environments.
Reflecting on the summit’s discourse, TLiC has distilled two fundamental pillars to guide our upcoming initiatives at Universitas Ciputra. First, we recognize that true education is earned within a community; it is neither generated nor automated in isolation. This reinforces our commitment to prioritizing measured student engagement, where technology serves as a robust support tool rather than a replacement for human connection. By focusing on active participation and collaborative learning, we ensure that the educational experience remains a shared journey of discovery.
Furthermore, in an era where AI makes knowledge abundant, we believe that understanding and discernment remain remarkably scarce. To address this, TLiC advocates that critical thinking must be made explicit through our MKUC (Mata Kuliah Umum Ciputra) courses. Our goal is to empower students not just to access information, but to navigate it with clarity and purpose. By integrating these insights, TLiC continues to lead the way in blending cutting-edge innovation with the timeless values of critical inquiry and community-driven education.
