The Great Ideas for Teaching and Learning Summit Partners (Center for Teaching Learning, University Foundations, and eCampus Center) welcome Lightning Talk proposals for the 2025 Great Ideas for Teaching and Learning Summit on March 28. The Summit is an annual opportunity for educators across campus to gather in community to focus on a timely topic in teaching and learning. This year’s Great Ideas Summit theme is “Real Talk: Embracing the Challenges of Teaching and Learning”.
The theme of this year’s lightning talks is “Real Talk about Student Success: Normalizing Setbacks and Snafus”. We invite Lightning Talk proposals that showcase examples, both big and small, of embracing and overcoming the challenges of teaching and learning (success stories, lessons learned, tips & tricks, methodologies, etc.) across campus. For example, assignments, activities, teaching techniques, or course structures that
- create a learning space where productive failure is part of learning,
- support student development of a growth mindset and/or metacognition,
- Encourages reflective practice (by either the student and/or instructor)
- prepare students to develop skills for college and beyond
