The annual Center for Teaching, Learning, and Assessment fall semester kickoff focuses on existing and emerging contexts affecting higher education and university courses.

This year the event offers both insight into summer working groups' response to legislative changes and practical strategies to improve course experience for ourselves and our students.

In addition, faculty who have completed Teaching@OHIO certifications will share their own Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) research projects, implementation of experiential and AI-enhanced strategies.

Participants will also have the opportunity to network with colleagues throughout the day.

Teaching through Transitions will take place Friday, Sept. 5, in Baker Center 240-242. The event officially begins at 11 a.m. and ends at 3 p.m., but all are invited to coffee and an optional workshop on The Science of Learning at 10 a.m. Drawing on insights from neuroscience, psychology and education, this workshop explores the cognitive, social, and emotional aspects of learning to develop effective teaching and learning strategies.
