The Penn Libraries’ David B. Weigle Information Commons is pleased to present their seventh annual Engaging Students Through Technology Symposium on Friday, October 31, 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
The guiding question for the annual faculty symposium is:
How can technology empower our students, and us, as learners?
The symposium includes a faculty panel, an undergraduate student panel, two rounds of concurrent workshops and a lightning round. The faculty panel includes Jeffrey Babin (engineering entrepreneurship program), Marybeth Gasman (higher education), Jeffery Saven (chemistry) and Gwendolyn DuBois Shaw (history of art). Peter Decherney (cinema studies and English) will facilitate the undergraduate student panel. Discussion will build on perspectives collected from an open student survey at http://tinyurl.com/upennstud
Workshop themes include active learning techniques, video production, creative uses of Canvas, building community and improving communication. 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, SAS Computing and the Weingarten Learning Resources Center (VPUL).
Last year’s symposium attracted over 150 participants from all 12 schools. The opportunity to share ideas across disciplines is a key feature of this annual symposium.
