Programming Overview
Teaching & Learning Talks
Teaching & Learning Talks (TLTs) are structured as a three-part series designed to explore new teaching & learning methods and practices. Intended to appeal to a broad audience at W&M, the three sessions are bound by a unifying framework. The goal of each session is to explore and expand our teaching and learning practices. TLTs serve as a gateway for “deeper dives” into these practices as needed and showcase W&M’s faculty work.
Workshops
When participants come to workshops they can expect to discuss various teaching and learning topics, share instructional problems of practice, offer suggestions to others, and gain strategies to implement in their own courses. Workshops are led by STLI facilitators and campus partners.
Community Conversations
Community Conversations serve as an opportunity to share your ideas about broader topics within the William & Mary community at large. These conversations will help instructional faculty, co-educators, and students alike understand the complex landscapes and ecosystems of teaching and learning at William & Mary. These conversations, intended to stimulate innovative ideas and understand difficult problems, are led by STLI certified facilitators.
Learning Labs
Learning Labs are an opportunity for people throughout the William & Mary community to acquire a new skill or create a new product. Whether you’re interested in video editing or podcasting or learning how to collaborate with your students and colleagues, Learning Labs offer in-depth lessons taught by experts.
