Conference proposals due Friday, October 9, 2015.

Keynote Speaker:
Dr. Peter Doolittle
Virginia Tech University

This is a special invitation to all faculty and instructors at the University of North Georgia to join your colleagues in the College of Education for a special one-day conference on October 23 focused on innovation in teaching. You are most welcome to not only attend but also submit proposals about your innovative teaching.

Our keynote speaker, Dr. Peter Doolittle, Assistant Provost for Teaching and Learning, Executive Director of the Center for Instructional Development and Educational Research (CIDER) at Virginia Tech, will speak about the unfortunate tendency in higher education to look for and accept easy solutions to complex and wicked problems, often under the guise of innovation and technology. In contrast, Dr. Doolittle will remind us of the essentials of teaching and learning innovation and the role that all faculty play in developing effective future technology-rich instructional environments.
