LEC Hosts Teaching and Learning Conference for NSU Educators

 

The Learning and Educational Center recently hosted a two-day virtual conference that showcased a variety of NSU educators presenting a wide array of topics. The theme for the conference was, “Connect, Engage, Inspire,” and it gave NSU faculty an opportunity to share their knowledge and practices with other educators at the University. Presentations covered teaching strategies, technology tools, BEDI practices, student engagement, and more. Some sample presentation titles were: “That’s Debatable: How to Create Better Writers Using Micro-Debates,” “Developing and Using Vision Statements to Enhance Course Design and Improve Student Outcomes,” and, “Connecting Faculty and Student (Re)Engagement with Relationship-Rich Education.”

Conference presenters represented many colleges within NSU including the Abraham S. Fischler College of Education and School of Criminal Justice, the H. Wayne Huizenga College of Business and Entrepreneurship, the Halmos College of Arts and Science, the Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences, as well as the Writing and Communication Center and the Learning and Educational Center itself. The conference also included two highly engaging presentations by Provost and Executive Vice President of Academic Affairs, Ron Chenail. According to conference organizer Marti Snyder, Ph.D., “Opportunities such as this year’s virtual conference facilitate sharing of teaching and learning best practices across NSU. We were thrilled to have 250 registered attendees representing all NSU colleges and many offices. We are grateful to our attendees, presenters, LEC staff, and the LEC Advisory Council for their contributions to this successful event.”
