For the first time since the first few weeks of the spring term in 2020, the dominant modality of teaching is in person. For many faculty, this is the first time teaching students in a physical classroom in many months or with the circumstances different than even the last semester. This is an opportunity—no matter what teaching modality being employed—to gather to share stories and advice to navigate a distinctive world for educators. Please join us for this virtual discussion following the first week of classes.

This year’s Learning Institute featured presenter will be Susan Blum of the University of Notre Dame.
Professor Blum is the author of I Love Learning, I Hate School: An Anthropology of College (2016) and a co-editor of Ungrading: Why Rating Students Undermines Learning (and What to do Instead) (2020).
Keynote Address – “Ungrading and Related Practices for Equity in and Beyond a Pandemic.”
