Belonging in a Digital World
Thursday, August 29, 2019, 8:30 am to 4:00 pm, Inn on Boltwood
Each year, the provost, in partnership with the Center for Teaching and Learning, sponsors a retreat with a focus on pedagogy for faculty and instructional staff. This year's retreat addressed questions such as the following:
- How do we better understand how our students navigate the world?
- How can we leverage students' immersion in the digital landscape to support learning?
- What are the promises and challenges of digital technologies?
- How are we helping students develop high-level cognitive skills, regulate their attention in the face of technological demands, and harness the power of technology to help them develop disciplinary expertise and creativity?
