THEMES AND SUB-THEMES
CAUCE 2010 focuses on the role of university continuing education and its power to inspire, be creative, and embrace diversity.
The conference themes invite us to engage in how creativity in continuing education can underpin and be the catalyst for innovative and forward thinking in all aspects of programming.
How programs can be inspiring for both instructor and learner and ways in which it can embrace diversity, are also there for us to explore.

1. Creativity
Creativity is key to successful continuing education programming in the current economic environment. Regardless of the field of study, the service, or the target audience, active exploratory approaches to solving problems requires doing things that are new and different.
How can our approaches to problem solving be creative? What is new and different, or perhaps even original?

2. Models, strategies and methods to challenge the times
Our ever-changing economic environment demands that we be imaginative and inventive when developing and adjusting operational strategies and programs. Not only this, we have to not just cling to the learners we have today, but strategically target emerging groups of learners and innovatively find new ideas to keep them.
Are there are tried and true applications that will carry us through these tough times? What inventive strategies has your organization employed to adjust to the
changing economy?
3. Embracing Diversity
Diversity in all its meanings is a key to our success. Embracing the opportunities it provides can give you ‘a leg up’ on competitors. The changing face of Canadian society means there is a new clientele to serve. Are there particular programs or concepts that are unique to this dynamic?
Diversity can be a reflection of our institution and our community. Where are the opportunities for new programming, partnership and strategic alliances to broaden the reach of continuing education?
