Spirit of Inquiry

Concordia will hold a McGraw-Hill Ryerson National Teaching, Learning and Technology Conference on May 14 and 15, and Vice-Provost (Academic Programs) Danielle Morin hopes you’ll get on board.

Morin is enthusiastic about this opportunity to bring teachers, graduate students and staff together. These conferences, sponsored several times a year at campuses across Canada by a well-known book publisher, are a chance to focus on new ideas and insights in higher education.

The title chosen for this conference is “The Spirit of Inquiry: Developing Critical Thinking, Creativity and Community.” Among suggested themes: teaching a diverse student population, retaining and engaging students, teaching online courses, and using online teaching evaluations.

Morin welcomes all sorts of ideas, from new approaches in the classroom and innovative teaching technology to special programs that fire students’ desire to learn.

The deadline for proposals is Friday, March 16. Registration starts March 1. If you would like to run a conference idea past her office, please email spirit-inquiry@concordia.ca or call ext. 2426. Information is available at spirit-of-inquiry.concordia.ca
