CNDLS will host the 2011 Teaching, Learning, and Innovation Summer Institute from May 23 - June 3. TLISI's new format will feature three programs, each offering a distinct lens and framework, to engage faculty with a particular set of questions about teaching and learning.
Registration is currently open, and the deadline to apply is March 11.
CNDLS welcomed Dr. Derek Bruff, assistant director at the Vanderbilt Center for Teaching and a senior lecturer in the Vanderbilt Department of Mathematics, for two days of discussions on teaching with clickers.
Video from his talks will be posted on our site soon, and in the meantime, slides and notes from both presentations are available on the Resources from Recent Events page.
