Dieter Schönwetter |
Foundational to teaching is a working understanding of various learning theories. In this session, participants will be provided with a survey of key learning theories, such as Piaget's accommodation and assimilation, Vygotsky's zone of proximate development, Bloom's Cognitive Taxonomy, Kolb's Learning Styles, and Knowles' Adult Learning Theory. A number of activities will be used to illustrate these theories. |

Marilla Svinicki | For most faculty, motivation is the holy grail of teaching. As a faculty developer we need to have good ways of providing both background and practical strategies that faculty can use in their own teaching. This session reviews the four theories that are most current and most accepted by faculty. |

Megan Palmer, Nancy Chism, Peg Weissinger |
Keeping up with new technology can create stress and anxiety for many faculty members. Why not have a little fun to help ease these feelings? During this interactive session we will explore ways to make IT and other kinds of faculty development workshops both educational and enjoyable. Participants will leave with several ideas that can be implemented on their own campus. | MRT 218 |
