The Office for the Advancement of Teaching & Learning at the University of Rhode Island is proud to announce our inaugural Innovative Education Conference!

About

The purpose of the Innovative Education Conference (IEC) is to bring together URI faculty with other faculty and practitioners from across Rhode Island, the New England region, and beyond to share and discuss best practice approaches to teaching, learning, faculty development and support in a higher education context. The IEC is a virtual conference, allowing for greater accessibility and flexibility for presenters and attendees. The IEC offers workshops, presentations, poster sessions, and roundtable/panel discussions focused on a theme and organized through various pre-planned conference tracks. The conference also includes a keynote speaker that brings forth relevant and timely research-based information to benefit attendees in their approach to teaching, learning, and faculty success.
