2018 Keynote Speakers 

The Spark of Learning: Energizing the College Classroom with the Science of Emotion
Sarah Rose Cavanaugh, Ph.D.

Associate Director of Assumption College’s Center for Teaching Excellence and author of “The Spark of Learning: Energizing the College Classroom with the Science of Emotion.”​

Session Description: 
Traditional views of education assume that reason should reign over emotion, and that the classroom should be a quiet, dispassionate space where students and instructors impartially engage with facts, figures and theories.  However, the field of education is beginning to awaken to the power of emotions to capture attention, mobilize efforts, and enhance memory.

In this keynote address and interactive workshop, Cavanaugh will bring to bear a wide range of evidence from the study of education, psychology, and neuroscience to suggest that targeting emotions in your presentation style, course design, and assignments is a highly potent teaching strategy.
Open, Critical, Participatory: New Directions in Digital Pedagogy
Remi Kalir, Ph.D.

Assistant Professor of Information and Learning Technologies at the University of Colorado Denver School of Education and Human Development. His recent research includes: Playful Annotation with Hypothesis Studying Interactive Text, and Learning, Enacting, and Designing Techquity.​

Session Description: 
Digital media practices present both novel and challenging opportunities for faculty to support open, critical, and participatory learning.  This presentation will explore the intersection of critical education and digital pedagogy, introduce tools and perspectives that encourage critical digital pedagogy, and suggest pathways toward designing and facilitating more open, equitable, and transformative learning.
