The keynote session presented by Bob Gonyea, associate director of Indiana University Center for Postsecondary Research, on “The Use of Student Engagement Data in the Assessment of Liberal Learning” and the subsequent workshop will be of interest to all those who teach at UD.
Gonyea’s sessions will provide an opportunity to explore what student engagement results tell us about best practices in teaching and learning.
The afternoon program will complement the themes raised by Gonyea, as UD faculty share recent perspectives from their diverse disciplines.
