SUMMARY:Keynote Address: Teaching Toward an Open Future (with Robin DeRosa)
DESCRIPTION:The CTLI is pleased to announce that on Friday\, April 26 from 12:30-2:00pm\, Robin DeRosa\, will be delivering a keynote address for VTSU staff and faculty titled “Teaching Toward an Open Future.” \nThis session will be on Zoom and recorded for anyone who cannot make it. \n\n\n\nSession Description: Higher Education is in flux. Sometimes it feels like change is the only constant in our work lives as faculty and staff. There can be pressure to innovate\, as well as anxiety about what might be lost if we radically transform our practices. We might even wonder if the values that motivate us as scholars\, teachers\, or support staff are reflected in our institutions\, given how constrained they are by the ebb and flow of politics and markets. In this presentation\, Robin will propose that we use Open Education as a bridge to help us cross from higher education’s current challenges into a more hopeful future where our colleges and universities are vehicles for the public good\, powered by the people who work and learn within them. By aligning our values with our pedagogies and linking the university to the communities that surround and sustain it\, we can imagine a way forward and design our daily work to bring us one step at a time toward the higher education that our students deserve. \n\n\n\nWhile this session ties to our F2F+ OER efforts\, it should also be inspiring\, uplifting\, and empowering for any educator at VTSU. \n\n\n \nRobin DeRosa is the director of Learning & Libraries and the director of the Open Learning & Teaching Collaborative at Plymouth State University\, part of the University System of New Hampshire. The Open CoLab is a dynamic\, praxis-powered hub dedicated to innovative teaching and learning and a community-driven approach to academic professional development that focuses on instructional design\, open education\, interdisciplinary learning\, and increasing the public impact of the academy.\n \n\n \nPlease register for this event using the link below. When you do\, you will receive an automatic email from the CTLI confirming your registration.
