TLCoP Aug. 22: Explore teaching, learning opportunities in Purdue’s Strategic Initiatives
Purdue instructors, teaching assistants, and staff are invited to join the Teaching and Learning Community of Practice (TLCoP) online Thurs., Aug. 22, 1 p.m. ET. for its first session of Fall 2024. This semester, TLCoP explores Purdue’s Expanding Learning Environments and opportunities to facilitate, support, innovate, and engage within these environments.
During TLCoP’s first session for Fall 2024, we will briefly review Purdue’s strategic initiatives and quickly move on to discuss what these might mean in our courses and for Purdue’s teaching community. For example: TLCoP now includes Purdue faculty who are teaching in Indianapolis.
- What might this mean for students, courses, and/or facilities across our newly extended campus?
- How might we redefine our teaching-and-learning community?
- How can we engage and collaborate in this expanded environment?
This initial session is also designed to identify and prioritize other strategic initiatives that TLCoP will explore in its monthly sessions. Some examples might be:
- Ways to leverage technology for teaching and learning.
- Opportunities to enhance student learning beyond a physical classroom.
- Strategies to provide accessibility and foster belonging in a variety of learning environments.
- Collaboration and interdisciplinary approaches to teaching and learning.
- Integrating research and teaching.
As a community of practice, TLCoP wants to hear from everyone involved with teaching and learning at Purdue. Come with your questions, priorities, and innovations. Please register for the Zoom session and review the Strategic Initiatives before the Aug. 22 session. Additional details on the community of practice, as well as past and future sessions, are available on the TLCoP website.
