TTLC 2018: Student-Centered Innovation
In 2018, the inaugural Transformational Teaching and Learning Conference focused on student-centered innovation, highlighting classroom practices and experiences which intrigue, enlighten, and inspire teachers and learners alike. The 2018 program included two days of engaging in-person sessions, and brought the campus community together in pursuit of teaching and learning innovation.Program Highlights
TTLC 2018 hosted two keynote addresses from Dr. Kimberly Tanner, San Francisco State University, and Dr. Michael Wesch, Kansas State University.
