NOW CLOSED AS WE HAVE REACHED SPACE CAPACITY
Lilly Conferences have provided professional opportunities for the presentation of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning for over 25 years. Participants come from a multitude of disciplines from throughout the United States and from abroad.
The overarching theme for Lilly 2010 is Evidence-Based Teaching and Learning. This theme was chosen to reflect that approaches to teaching and learning should be based on scholarly activity. As disciplinary approaches use scholarly work to investigate and advance knowledge, pedagogical innovation should also advance by building on the work of others. The Lilly Conference on College and University Teaching – East will bring together faculty from a variety of disciplines and at various stages of their academic careers to share new advances in teaching and learning.
The Lilly Conference on College and University Teaching - East has been in Newark, Delaware over the past 4 years is being moved this year to the greater Washington D.C., area of College Park, Maryland. It will be held June 3 – 5, 2010, and include 3 days of stimulating workshops and sessions presented by college and university instructors from throughout the United States.
Call for Proposals
The "Call for Proposals" for this 9th annual conference has now closed.
New for 2010
Lilly Conference for College and University Teaching – East is a national teaching and learning conference that has received consistently high evaluations and praise for both the strength of the presenters and the community feel that is realized each year during meals, in sessions, and at receptions. This year the conference is changing the and moving from Newark, Delaware, to College Park, Maryland, just outside of Washington, DC. The conference hotel is just 22 miles from the Baltimore-Washington Airport and has easy access to the DC Metro system. The timing of the conference has also changed from April to the first week in June. This was done to allow faculty to finish spring courses and have an opportunity to come to the conference to reflect on what was done well, and what adjustments might be made for the fall semester.
Also new this year are the subthemes, identified to reflect the newest challenges and accomplishments with respect to student learning. Within the major conference theme of Evidence-Based Teaching and Learning, there are again four major subthemes to focus our discussions: Advancing Active Learning; Teaching Responsibly with Technology; Preparing Future Faculty; Creating Communities of Learners.
Advancing Active Learning:
This track will focus on ways to promote learning in which students are actively involved with the course material; practicing the scholarship of teaching and learning through a pedagogy of interaction. Examples include (but are not limited to) problem-based learning, group projects, interactive discussions, demonstrations, and inclusive teaching methods
Teaching Responsibly with Technology:
Learning must drive technology advancement. This track will identify ways in which the integration of a wide variety of technologies promotes student learning. Technologies presented will include (but are not limited to) best practices to include course management tools, student response systems, online collaboration tools, blogs, and chats.
Preparing Future Faculty:
The PFF track is designed to assist future faculty in preparing for their careers as college and university instructors. It is also designed to assist those developing PFF programs. Sessions in this area will include (but are not limited to) understanding the principles of course design, developing teaching portfolios, establishing a research agenda, work-life balance, and identifying resources needed to success as in the first teaching position.
Creating Communities of Learners:
The affective domain and social support are often ignored in discussions of learning, but how students interact and support one another is an important aspect to learning. Sessions in this area will focus on learning communities, respect in the classroom, classroom civility and incivility, building support systems, and the impact of the affective domain on learning.
