October 20, 2015, Volume 62, No. 10 |
In collaboration with several campus partners, the Penn Libraries is pleased to present the annual Engaging Students Through Technology Symposium.
The guiding question for this year is: Ed Tech 2020: What Will Learning Look Like?
The symposium will be held on Friday, October 30 from 9:30 a.m.-4 p.m. in Claudia Cohen Hall and the Van Pelt-Dietrich Library Center.
It will include a faculty panel, an undergraduate student panel, two rounds of concurrent workshops and a lightning round. Stanton Wortham (faculty director, Online Learning Initiative) will share opening remarks. The faculty panel includes Jim English (English), Peter Fader (marketing), Joe Farrell (classical studies), Philip Gressman (mathematics) and Mélanie Péron (Romance languages). Peter Decherney (cinema studies and English) will facilitate the undergraduate student panel. Discussion will build on perspectives collected from an undergraduate student survey at http://tinyurl.com/wic2015student
Workshop themes include data visualization techniques, uses of Canvas, social media and 3D printing. The program is designed for faculty, teaching staff and graduate students, and is co-sponsored by CAMRA, the Center for Teaching and Learning, the Penn Language Center, the Online Learning Initiative, SAS Computing and the Weingarten Learning Resources Center (VPUL).
Last year’s symposium attracted over 130 participants from all 12 schools across the University. The opportunity to share ideas across disciplines is a key feature of this annual symposium.
