2012 Lilly Conference of Greensboro
Welcome!
The Lilly Conference on College and University Teaching in Greensboro, NC will be held at the Joseph S. Koury Convention Center near the University of North Carolina at Greensboro campus.
Lilly Conferences are retreats that combine workshops, discussion sessions, and major addresses, with opportunities for informal discussion about excellence in college and university teaching and learning. Internationally-known scholars join new and experienced faculty members and administrators from all over the world to discuss topics such as gender differences in learning, incorporating technology into teaching, encouraging critical thinking, using teaching and student portfolios, implementing group learning, and evaluating teaching.
"Teaching for Brain-Based Learning"
The 2012 Conference will introduce innovative approaches to teaching and learning, challenge previously held assumptions regarding acquisition of knowledge, and share new ways to help students learn from both their instructors and from one another. Grounded in the fields of neuroscience, cognitive psychology, physiology, pedagogy and andragogy, brain-based learning is the application of our collective and integrated knowledge about how the brain works to learn foundational concepts and to solve meaningful problems. Drawing from our combined practice and scholarship, together we can create more meaningful learning environments for our students.
