A Comprehensive Review of 2022

This was a great year for the Learning and Educational Center. Once again, we enjoyed working with our amazing faculty on their courses, hosting a variety of workshops with University partners and NSU faculty members, and exploring new ground. Our LEC Advisory Council formed a subcommittee to host a Teaching and Learning Conference for all NSU employees and the event was a huge success. Additionally, the LEC Advisory Council helped form a competency framework for NSU educators. Our Faculty Studio continued to serve faculty who wanted to add high-quality video content to their courses and because of the tremendous response of students and faculty alike, we continued our Thank a Professor initiative, the results of which will be shared during the new year.

	Review of LEC Articles in 2022 Team members from across the LEC drafted and published several articles in 2022 with topics ranging from Considering Course Design for Affective Learning to 15 Ways to Engage your Students. In addition to the articles, LEC team members produced short informative videos on the educational technology platforms used at NSU. We promise that you will find something new in the Learning with the LEC Video series. These articles and videos published throughout the year might deserve a second read or second look.
	Review of LEC Workshops in 2022 The LEC hosted many workshops in 2022. The year started off strong with our Foundations of Teaching Online Series and continued through to our Winter and Summer Guest Presentations, our Summer Roadtrip Series, Guest Speakers, and our always awesome LEC team members’ workshops.
	Review of LEC Initiatives in 2022 Thanks to the vision and perseverance of our dedicated LEC Advisory Council this year we held our inaugural Teaching and Learning Conference. We are so grateful for the commitment of our presenters and participants that made the event successful. In the coming months, you will hear more about our other new initiative, the NSU Educator Competency Framework. We also can’t wait to share the many thank you notes that students submitted for this year’s Thank a Professor initiative.
