    Speed Upskilling Panels
    Panelists will have 5 minutes to do an Ignite or PechaKucha-style presentation alongside other instructors, followed by time for questions and discussion about each topic and the panel as a whole. Presenters will share scholarship, teaching practices, and service outcomes, giving attendees opportunities to learn from colleagues on campus with similar interests. Presentation cover a variety of topics within the themes of Open Education Practices and Humanizing Pedagogy.


    Communities of Practice
    Want to collaborate on creative solutions to traditional teaching problems? In the space facilitators will co-construct ideas to transform your learning space to be more equitable and inclusive through a 1-hour Community of Practice (CoP) with others who share a common Inclusive Teaching and Learning concern. Each session's driving questions has been selected to be something attainable within one hour, but we encourage any interested Communities to continue their conversations beyond the Symposium itself.
