Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching

What does research tell us about student learning?

  1. In this workshop, research findings concerning student learning will be examined. The workshop will focus on how we can design a learning environment that best encourages learning. The topics discussed will include:
  • low-stakes testing,
  • learning styles and other myths,
  • intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and
  • meaningful learning.

While this is listed as a new faculty workshop, all faculty are invited to participate.
