Relevance, Reflection, & Relationships

Whether we are ourselves in the classroom or supporting the success of those actively engaged in teaching and learning, we collectively lead students to make connections and identify the value of what they are learning, such as the skills and competencies to support their journey beyond the classroom. This theme challenges you to align educational content and activities with building community, self-efficacy, and self-awareness.

Looking Within & Looking Beyond

It's important to ask: Who are our learners? Armed with this knowledge, we can design learning environments, within the traditional classroom, online, and in other campus spaces, that genuinely incorporate the needs of our learners. Looking within, we seek to investigate our classrooms, course design, and delivery to explore intentional instructional practices and connect with our students.

Building Resilience and Promoting Equity

Prolonged pandemic instruction has deeply affected higher education, exposing ongoing equity gaps and leading to a rise in stress and exhaustion for students and educators, alike. How can we be exclusive to taking care of ourselves, while also being inclusive in taking care of our students?

Building Community: Digital Resources & Innovative Pedagogies

CoTL 2020's theme encourages us to think about the ways in which we design, build, & sustain communities of learners. How do we create & maintain a sense of belonging? This factor has been shown in the research on student retention to be a powerful indicator of student progression towards a degree.
