Interactive Plenary Session: Motivating “Students These Days”

Facilitated by the Eberly Center for Teaching Excellence and Educational Innovation

What are some characteristics of the modern university student? Why might engaging them be a challenge? What can instructors do to help motivate students to learn? This session will review research about current college students and provide a “menu” of concrete strategies to increase their motivation. Attendees should leave with actions they can begin implementing immediately.

Showcase Sessions

In these two sessions, CMU instructors of all levels from across the university will present teaching strategies, research, and/or experiences to small groups of participants. Presentations may be in the form of technology demonstrations, posters, example materials, or informal conversations around a table (with or without slides or handouts). Presentations will last five minutes, with another five minutes for questions. Participants will then be encouraged to rotate to a new presentation.

Are you interested in sharing your teaching and learning experiences with your colleagues at this event? Submit your proposal to share your ideas in one of these Showcase Sessions. Proposals are due on Monday, August 5th, at 9 a.m. ET.
