The Changing Classroom Conference

Category: Conference
Description: The Center for Instructional Excellence (CIE) will host a conference March 21 in which faculty members will present their methods and experiences in redesigning foundational courses as part of the IMPACT initiative. The daylong conference, called The Changing Classroom, will take place from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Stewart Center. It will focus on how Purdue's classroom teaching has changed through the IMPACT (Instruction Matters: Purdue Academic Course Transformation) initiative, and it will feature faculty members involved. The Provost's Office began IMPACT in 2011 to engage students more fully in their learning, thereby improving retention and completion in classes that serve students across the entire West Lafayette campus. To do this, faculty members participating in three cohorts have redesigned large-capacity, foundational courses -- 63 courses so far, affecting more than 7,500 students -- through IMPACT.
When: Thursday 28 February, 2013, 1:00 pm - 10:00 pm EST
Where: Stewart Center, Purdue University
