The challenges for education are paramount globally with the drastic educational development, diversity, and complexity, and they are systematic, interconnected, and intricate. In order to go beyond survival and truly thrive in a sustainable manner, this panel will examine seemingly unrelated fields of educational technology and philosophy to point out what is missing in our current system. It aims at seeking synergetic elements in education for profound, innovative, and effective teaching and learning globally. How has the learning space and community changed? What are the needs and importance to fully engage effective pedagogies and create new interrelated teaching and learning in education today? Why should humanity connect all space, community, fields, and purpose in this century? Both panelists are from graduate programs that face many of these challenges and they will share examples and practices they have experienced and observed.
