Over 200 CMU faculty, postdocs, graduate students, and staff participated in the first annual Teaching & Learning Summit on October 14th to celebrate and showcase the exciting ideas and evidence-based approaches that our colleagues are applying here at CMU and beyond. We joined together to hear about new instructional strategies and technologies, to learn about educational research by CMU instructors and learning scientists, and to share ideas and experiences.
