Call for Proposals: Annual Conference on Excellence in Teaching and Learning

The Academy of Teaching is accepting proposals for its annual Conference on Excellence in Teaching and Learning until January 22. The conference provides a venue for members of The Ohio State University community to share innovative, interesting, evidence-based ideas for the improvement of teaching effectiveness and student learning outcomes.

The Academy invites proposals from members of the Ohio State teaching community for presentations on any topics related to enhancing the quality and effectiveness of university teaching and student learning at Ohio State. Proposals may be interdisciplinary or specific to a single discipline or group of disciplines.

This year’s conference theme, Embracing Time and Change, reflects President Drake’s strategic plan. As instructors, our educational environment is ever-changing. At Ohio State, technological, curricular, and demographic changes necessitate that we develop teaching strategies to best support our students’ current needs. How do we get past the pain of change and even embrace it? How do we incorporate new ways of thinking into our teaching that provide optimal learning experiences for students within our present context?
