The Center for Teaching, Learning, and Technology at Goucher College will bring together faculty and academic support personnel from Baltimore area colleges and universities to consider the topic of learning styles in higher education. The 2007 Conference on Teaching and Learning will take place on May 30th, with pre- and post-conference sessions on the 29th and 31st. Our theme is Learning Styles: From Theory to Practice.
We invite proposals for panels and individual presentations for May 30, and workshops for May 31. We especially encourage the submission of proposals that include active learning components. The RFP deadline is March 30.
Questions to consider include: What are learning styles and how can they be identified in the classroom? What activities are you using in the classroom to provide varying approaches to material? What are some effective formats for student projects and research assignments? Is assessment impacted by different learning styles and what strategies can be used to keep it meaningful? Are there new technologies that help faculty to address varying learning styles?
All presenters must register for the Conference.
Proposals are due by March 30, 2007. Notification of accepted proposals will be on or about April 3, 2007.
