Each March, 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. Symposiums also include a keynote speech from a leading figure in the field of instructional technology.

Each Symposium also includes the formal presentation of the university's Teaching & Learning with Technology Award, awarded by the Pew Faculty Teaching and Learning Center. Whether you're looking for ideas and simply want to celebrate your colleagues' accomplishments, this is an opportunity not to be missed.

On the morning of the Symposium, Grand Valley is hosting the Spring MiBUG (Blackboard Users Group) Conference, from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. During the conference, you will have an opportunity to hear what's on the horizon for Blackboard, and learn from colleagues around the state of Michigan on how they are using different features of Blackboard in their teaching. If you would like to attend the MiBUG conference, please register for the conference which also includes lunch.

For more information on the morning's events, please visit the MiBUG conference page.
