How do we become creative people in the world, as both instructors and learners? For Dr. Laleh Behjat, professor of Electrical and Software Engineering at the University of Calgary’s Schulich School, creativity both necessitates and fosters courageous, caring, and collaborative approaches to teaching and learning.

Join us as Dr. Behjat describes how we might eliminate exams and draw inspiration from karate to reimagine “cheating” as a form of collaboration.
