Attend Today's Continuous Improvement Conference
Continuous Improvement Conference: General Education Course Redesign for Success
9 a.m.-Noon
Today
Morris University Center Conference Center
SIUE has successfully remained afloat, even growing, despite the Illinois state funding crisis. However, continued challenges threaten our mission of “a student-centered educational community dedicated to communicating, expanding and integrating knowledge.”
Join together with staff, faculty and administrators to see where we are on the map, and how we can navigate the crisis together. Instructors will share course redesign efforts they have already undertaken.
We will discuss an institutional plan for undertaking course redesign projects. Participants will discuss course redesign and how we might work together to improve student success. More details to follow.
The conference is designed for administrators, faculty (tenured, tenure track, instructors and lecturers) and staff.
It is co-sponsored by the Faculty Development Council and the Office of the Provost.
