Embracing Change and the Culture of Teaching and Learning

Many changes are affecting the learning community at Penn State and many more are on the horizon. Just a few of the changes facing us include state budget cuts, larger class sizes, a new learning management system, and changing student expectations.

What are some ways in which the community can embrace these many changes and view them as an opportunity for growth rather than a source of fear or stress? What present tools and expertise can help us address the changes and what new tools and skills do we need to acquire? These are the kinds of issues we will explore at the 2012 Symposium. In early September, we will open the call for proposals for sessions that address the topic of "Embracing Change" or otherwise showcase innovations in teaching and learning with technology.
