2011 Edward C. Moore Symposium
Friday, February 25, 2011 at IUPUI
8:00 AM - 4:30 PM, Campus Center Room 450

The Edward C. Moore Symposium on Teaching Excellence is one of IUPUI's oldest public events, dating from the years of IUPUI's inception. Named in honor of Edward C. Moore, former dean of the faculties, the symposium brings the higher education community together to examine the various instructional strategies that encourage student learning.

James E. Zull, professor of biology and founding director of the University Center for Innovation in Teaching and Education (UCITE) at Case Western Reserve University, will headline this years symposium with his keynote address "The Art of Changing the Brain."

In addition, Joshua Danish, Kathy Johnson, and Kylie Peppler will share their evidence-based approaches to "Supporting Learning in Formal and Informal Contexts." Joshua Danish and Kylie Peppler are both assistant professors in the learning sciences at IU Bloomington and Kathy Johnson is a professor and chair of psychology at IUPUI.

As in previous years, the 2011 program will include a poster presentation and three sets of interactive sessions, which will explore these and similar questions:

• What successful teaching strategies are you employing to encourage student engagement in the classroom?
• How can a specific teaching pedagogy from your discipline be translated to other disciplines?
• What strategies are found to increase student learning and success?
• How have student perspectives, partnerships, input, or feedback been used to make courses more effective?
• How is instructional technology being successfully integrated in courses to enhance students’ learning experiences?
• How can we assess the impact of teaching on student learning?
• What are the future directions in university-level teaching?
