"Fostering Quality
Learning Environments:
An Administrative Perspective"
|
|
Process education is at once a
methodology for teaching/learning,an engine for developing a
community of scholars, and a value-added component in
institutional strategic planning. The most pressing role of the
academic administrator is artciulating the inter-relationship of
the three dimensions and developing environments that can
sustain the dialectic that allows process education to be more
than the sum of its parts. This talk will reflect on the
speakers leadership experience at the University of
Indianapolis, appropriate roles for individuals at different
levels of the academic organization, and the pressures on higher
education that can help/hinder implementation of quality
learning environments.

Book Chat:
Teaching Naked
|
|
Quality face-to-face
interactions between faculty and students are critical to
Creating Quality Learning Environments and Pathways to
Process-Oriented Teaching and Learning. According to author José Bowen,
 |
"At the heart of Teaching
Naked is the seeming paradox that technology can be harnessed to
enhance the widely desired goals of increased student engagement
and faculty-student interaction but that it is most powerfully
used outside of class as a way to increase naked,
non-technological interaction with students inside the
classroom."
|
Join Melissa and Jim as they explore Teaching Naked and
offer some answers to these questions: What are inexpensive and
accessible ways to start using technology to engage students? How do the guiding principles of Process
Education align with Teaching Naked?
This talk has received a G rating by the Board of the Academy of
Process Educators.

Classroom Architecture |

The LearnLab 2.0 Classroom and the Active Learning
Ecosystem
Imagine a classroom that improves the transfer of
knowledge, dramatically enhances collaboration and engages
multiple learning styles.
The LearnLab Environment actively supports the many ways
that students learn today. The LearnLab grew out of a
user-centered design process developed by Steelcase Education
Solutions to fully understand the needs of today’s students and
faculty. LearnLabs focus on improving the classroom experience.
Key findings from our research include the following: classrooms
more than ever need to support multiple teaching and learning
styles; the application of products and tools in the classroom
is critical to how well students and teachers use them; and
better display of information is translated into better
retention for students. This interactive session will explore
ideas of how active learning spaces can be designed to support
new pedagogies and instructional technologies.
