Series focuses on enhancing and expanding student learning in changing and challenging times
Budget reductions and resource constraints present some challenges to the traditional ways we have educated our students. At the same time, online instruction, technology tools, and active learning techniques provide opportunities to navigate change. To support faculty and staff in the primary work of ensuring student learning and success in these changing times, we offer a series of professional development events, organized thematically around ways of enhancing teaching, expanding opportunities for student learning, and managing the realities of change. You will find an overview of these offerings in the “Schedule at a Glance” below. Details on each session follow and registration is required only when noted.
We hope you will join us as we think forward about ensuring teaching effectiveness under new constraints. This series is brought to you through a collaboration among CILT, OID, Extended Learning, Learning & Development, and the VPAA Office.
