Dear Colleagues,
I am happy to announce that the Brown Center for Faculty Innovation and Excellence will be hosting a virtual Colloquium on Teaching and Learning Innovation on Friday, April 8. Colloquium is an opportunity for the colleges of the Central Florida region to come together and share the best practices around teaching and learning. The theme of this year’s colloquium is Sharing Knowledge: Educating Students During a Pandemic.
Much has changed around our profession and this colloquium will allow us to share the lessons learned from experiences over the past two years of the pandemic.
