Subject: AAC&U Workshop - Innovative Designs for Teaching and Learning

Malcolm Brown, Director of Academic Computing at Dartmouth and I will 
be presenting a half-day preconference workshop "Innovative Designs for 
Teaching and Learning" at the Association of American Colleges & 
Universities conference "Learning and Technology:  Implications for 
Liberal Education and the Disciplines" in Seattle, Washington on 
Thursday, April 20, 2006.

The workshop will include a presentation on learning space design, 
discussion of how pedagogical methods, technology applications, and new 
types of learning spaces can work in synergy, and activities that will 
encourage participants to think through how they can improve their own 
courses (if they are faculty) or provide infrastructure for 
improvements on campus (if they are administrators) by applying 
principles learned in the workshop and drawing on examples provided.  
Separate registration is required for the workshop.

The full conference runs from April 20-22, and includes many sessions 
of interest to CNI members, including some on e-portfolios, interactive 
instructional software, assessment, scientific literacy, classroom 
response systems, collaborations, and social software.  It looks like 
an excellent program.
