Save the Date: May 5 – 10, 2025
The Enriching Scholarship planning team is still working on securing our 2025 keynote speaker and polishing our session proposal form, but it’s not too early to put a hold on May 5 – 10, 2025 for our annual conference. Conference feedback persistently favors continuing as a virtual conference, with most sessions held via Zoom and recorded. This year, we will also devote one day to in-person sessions. Details coming early in January.
What is the Teaching and Technology Collaborative?
The Teaching and Technology Collaborative (TeachTech) supports the U-M community’s efforts to leverage technology for teaching, learning, and research. We provide opportunities and resources for the use of technology that is driven by purpose rather than tools. TeachTech members connect you to a wide variety of services and experts across all campus units through consultations, workshops, collaborations, and other activities. We host the annual Enriching Scholarship conference, first offered in 1998, to bring together U-M faculty, staff, and students to share best practices and explore new opportunities that enhance teaching, learning, and research.
Enriching Scholarship 2024: Surveying the Now
Our 26th annual Enriching Scholarship (ES) conference is now concluded. Our 2024 theme aimed to highlight the ways technology has changed your current classroom. Topics included: the use of AI in your classroom; disruptive technologies; how-to workshops on the use of technology; data privacy, proctoring, flipped teaching, and/or teaching and learning in the online space.
Recordings of most sessions are available at our Teachtech MiVideo Mediaspace. Additionally, anyone with a U-M uniqname can still self-enroll in the conference website at Canvas to review session titles, descriptions, and to access session materials.
