ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM

Each Spring, Grand Valley's Teaching & Learning with Technology Symposium provides an opportunity for faculty to showcase how they're putting technology to use in their teaching. Faculty and staff from across the university gather for this afternoon of fun, food, and presentations. 

This year's Symposium will be held on Wednesday, May 2 at the downtown Pew campus.

Last year, the symposium featured a keynote by Thomas Tobin, Coordinator for Learning Technologies at the Center for Teaching and Learning at Northeastern Illinois University. Dr. Tobin's keynote was titled "Universal Design for Learning: Way Beyond Disabilities", providing a focus on UDL and accessibility. This year, the theme will be centered on open educational resources (OER). Dean Annie Bélanger will share how University Libraries support the adoption and creation of open educational resources (OER)  through advocacy, education, curation, and library publishing services. Further, she will position how open is an important component of liberal education

Don't miss this year, we have a brand new "Technology Test Kitchen" where you can learn about a variety of technologies through innovative 'recipes'!

Join us for an awesome afternoon of connecting, learning, and sharing - all focused on enhancing teaching practices and the effective use of technology to support student success.
