Faculty, Staff Invited to Submit Proposals for TLTCon 2023

Proposals for the 2023 Teaching, Learning, and Technology Conference (TLTCon) are being accepted through Friday, Feb. 3, 2023. Hosted by the College of Charleston Teaching and Learning Team (TLT), the seventh annual conference is free and open to the public and will be held via Zoom on May 16 and 17, 2023.

This year’s keynote speaker is Jay McTighe, award-winning author and co-creator of “Backward Design.” His keynote address will focus on themes from his best-selling book, Teaching for Deeper Learning: Tools to Engage Students in Meaning Making (2020).

TLTCon is a local conference with global reach, offering presenters the opportunity to share and discuss best practices and lessons learned in all aspects of teaching and learning. Showcasing faculty and staff members who are thriving in the teaching and learning environment through the use of tech, as well as those who are using classic pedagogy and old-school engagement, TLTCon is designed to bring together expertise from educational institutions across the region, spotlight teaching excellence and provide a space for idea sharing and networking.

Who should consider presenting?

Teaching faculty and staff

Academic administrators

Librarians

Student support staff and advisors

Graduate students (with teaching experience)

While proposals must address teaching and learning in the higher education environment, they do not need to include technology at all. All relevant topics are welcome, including the following:

Assessments and grading

Class discussions

Community building

Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI)

Educational technologies

Innovative teaching

Lecture design and delivery

Online education

Student engagement

This year, all TLTCon sessions will be 60 minutes.

Proposals may be submitted through this online form. The call for proposals will close on Friday, Feb. 3, 2023. The conference committee will review all proposals and send out acceptance/rejection emails by March 1, 2023.
