School of Education faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to take part in this year's Teaching and Learning Symposium May 17, 18, and 19th. This year's theme, "Reconsidering Learning Styles and Strategies," highlights the importance of identifying and understanding variations in the way people learn in order to design the best strategies and contexts for successful learning.

Make special note, CIMC staff offer "Designing Informal Learning Spaces" on Thursday, May 18th from 1:30 - 3:00 pm. The session highlights strategic planning and design aspects used by the Center for Instructional Materials and Computing. Session highlights include a tour of the CIMC space, the design aspects that have created a "student union" space supportive of study space and group work, steps in the design of teaching lab spaces, and the development of parallel technology services to support diverse learning needs.
