Eighth Annual Provost’s Teaching & Learning Symposium Ͼ

This year’s keynote, described below, will be given by Dr. Michelle D. Miller, Professor of Psychological Sciences and President’s Distinguished Teaching Fellow at Northern Arizona University.

Today’s faculty tend to steer clear of memory and memorization in their classrooms, preferring to focus on higher-level thinking skills. But do these goals have to be mutually exclusive? New research suggests that teachers really can have it both ways, using research-based techniques to strengthen both what students know and their ability to use that knowledge. Many of these approaches fit particularly well with educational technologies, as well as with newly available AI tools. This interactive keynote address invites faculty to look at memory in a new light, highlighting technologies and techniques that help students build a solid base of knowledge efficiently, quickly, and with a side order of fun. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in a structured question and answer session as part of the keynote.

Graduate TAs are welcome to attend.
