Colloquium on Teaching & Learning Innovation

Colloquium 2023

April 27, 2023 – 8 AM – 3 PM

This year’s colloquium, Reimagining What Faculty Can Do to Boost Student Success aims to bring our community together to engage in thoughtful discussion and share ideas around practices focused on enhancing student learning in the context of curricular and faculty workload renovation. The colloquium provides the opportunity for us to build on the Faculty Senate’s workload reform proposal that received faculty support at the March University meeting.

The primary goals of this year’s colloquium include: 
  • Uncovering opportunities for curricular renovation that maximize learning opportunities for the 21st century Stetson student (e.g., demographic shift, changing market demand, well-being) 
  • Identifying strategies moving high impact and experiential educational practices from historic invisible extras to normative curricular components vs. historic invisible extras; and  
  • Identifying strategies to support disciplinary diversity, shared teaching, and interdisciplinary activities.
