Facilitating Multipotentiality in Education: Innovative Pedagogical Approaches for Instructor-Led Student Empowerment

Abstract

In the evolving landscape of higher education, the concept of multipotentialism emerges as a vital paradigm. This study delves into the significance of multipotentialism in contemporary academia. It challenges the conventional notion of a singular academic or career trajectory, advocating for a versatile approach that embraces multiple interests, talents, and passions. This poster spotlights the pivotal role online college instructors play in fostering a multipotentialite mindset. Through this lens, we explore diverse methodologies and strategies that instructors can employ to enhance student engagement and versatility, preparing them for a dynamic employment landscape. The study encapsulates the defining characteristics of multipotentialites and offers practical, instructor-focused approaches to enrich and diversify the student academic experience, thereby aligning with the broader goal of holistic student empowerment.
