Celebration of Teaching 2024
The Faculty Academy for Excellence in Teaching (FACET) and the Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning (CITL) are hosting a Celebration of Teaching on October 4, 2024, 9:00 am - 4:00 pm in the Indiana Memorial Union Alumni Hall. This event will showcase IUB’s commitment to student success and the evidence-based teaching that supports it. The day will be a mixture of poster sessions, lightning talks (5-minute poster-preview presentations), and a lunchtime panel of award-winning instructors.
We invite IUB instructors to propose a poster in which you do the following:
- Describe an instructional challenge or opportunity—a particular assignment or learning outcome, an entire course, or even a course sequence or major;
- Share your approach for improving that activity our course; and
- Provide evidence of impact on student learning, engagement, or success.
In support of IUB’s commitment to evidence-based instruction, we encourage you to both reference scholarship or research from which your work emerged, as well as point to the evidence you have gathered yourself about its impact.
We particularly encourage posters on the following topics, but are open to any instructional topic:
- Student engagement and active learning
- Inclusive teaching
- Engaging students with Generative AI
- Experiential learning
- Improvement in student completion and success
Poster Session Details
- We will have two poster sessions (10:30-11:45, and 2:30-4:00), and we ask that all presenters have their posters available for each session and be able to attend at least one of them to engage with participants.
- Posters should be 48” x 60”, although some variation is acceptable.
- We encourage you to re-use posters from other events, either at disciplinary teaching conferences or IU events.
- We will ask for a PDF version of your poster (or a high-quality photo) to add to a post-event website.
- We will be inviting a subset of poster presenters to deliver "lightning talks" about their work, as previews of their posters.
- If you have never created a research poster before, see the UITS IT Training materials on Creating Research Posters.
- We have changed the submission deadline to be rolling to allow for additional proposals. We will check our form daily and will notify people within two business days to confirm your participation. For planning purposes, we will need to receive all proposals by September 26th at noon.
