Excellence in Online Teaching Symposium

Description

Johns Hopkins is pleased to host the second annual Excellence in Online Teaching Symposium through the generous funding of the Provost's DELTA Teaching-with-Technology Grants. The Excellence in Online Teaching Symposium brings faculty and instructional staff together to share best practices in designing and facilitating online courses and programs.

This is an open, online event in which members of the Johns Hopkins community hope to learn from and engage with colleagues from institutions across the globe. Forty-five-minute breakout sessions can include tool, method, and technology presentations and demos; panel and roundtable discussions; and workshops. The deadline for submitting a session proposal is Oct. 20.

This year's symposium features keynote speaker Michelle D. Miller, a professor of psychological sciences at Northern Arizona University specializing in working memory, memory encoding and the psychology of language. She earned her doctorate from UCLA. Her interest in evidence-based, technologically enhanced pedagogy led Miller to get involved with the course redesign movement sparked in the mid-2000s by the National Center for Academic Transformation. Her latest book is Remembering and Forgetting in the Age of Technology.

This is a virtual event; information to join the online symposium via Zoom will be shared with registered attendees the week before the event.

Johns Hopkins is committed to promoting the full participation of all individuals with disabilities in the Excellence in Online Teaching Symposium. To request an accommodation or for inquiries about accessibility, please email Haley Knapp at hknapp3@jhu.edu. In all situations, a good faith effort (up until the time of the event) will be made to provide accommodations.
