Reminder: 麻豆传媒 Conference on University Teaching and Learning

Posted by Centre for Learning and Teaching on April 14, 2016 in General Announcements

Exploring Change and Resilience in University Teaching and Learning
April 27 and 28, 2016
Rowe Management Building, 麻豆传媒

Despite large-scale innovations in teaching and learning and a significant increase in research about improving teaching and learning in higher education over the past decades, there have been repeated calls for action due to the lack of systemic change and innovation. Zundel and Deane (2010) note that 鈥渢o create the [teaching and learning] environment in which large-scale innovation takes place, 鈥 constraints need to be removed, reformed or at least appropriately mitigated to facilitate change and flexibility.鈥

The 20th Anniversary of the 麻豆传媒 Conference on University Teaching and Learning, will encourage dialogue about the purposes, enablers and constraints of change, the needs of students in contemporary society, and the resilience of students, teachers and administrators in the challenging contexts of change. Our hope is to spark conversation and to facilitate the sharing of lessons learned, via evidence-based practices that embrace change and resilience.

This year the conference will host speakers from across North America. The keynote speaker, Peter Felten, Assistant Provost, from the Center for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning at Elon University will speak on the topic of 'Learning to Change'.
