2008 TEACHING AND LEARNING SYMPOSIUM

May 21-22, 2008 at The Pyle Center
May 22-23, 2008 : Post-Symposium Workshops at
The Pyle Center & Other Campus Locations

Shaping our Future: Teaching and Learning at UW-Madison

The annual Teaching & Learning Symposium brings together all of us-faculty, staff, post-docs, and graduate students-who teach and support learning in order to share best practices, celebrate accomplishments, discuss new teaching pedagogy, and explore themes of mutual interest.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Teaching & Learning Symposium, and this year's theme celebrates that milestone: "Shaping our Future: Teaching and Learning at UW-Madison." We will explore both what is enduring about teaching and learning at UW-Madison, and what has dramatically
changed.  Issues to be discussed are the lasting values that frame our teaching, changes in what represents pedagogical innovation (and what the future might bring), revolutionary technological changes, and dramatic ways in which our students have changed, and learn.
