BGSU’s annual Teaching & Learning Summit is an opportunity for the BGSU teaching community to spend the day celebrating achievements, reflecting on the past year, sharing best practices for teaching and learning, and fostering future collaborations for both inside and outside of the classroom. Participants can expect an engaging keynote presentation, interactive sessions, networking opportunities, inspiring discussions, and collaborative learning.

The theme for this year’s Summit is “Forward: The Future of Teaching & Learning.” Aligning with BGSU’s Strategic Plan, “Forward.”, this year’s Summit will envision what teaching excellence and student success looks like in the university classroom of the future. The keynote speech, “AI for Humanity: Artificial Intelligence, Higher Education, and the Public Good,” delivered by Dr. Betsy Barre, Ph.D., the Executive Director of the Center for the Advancement of Teaching at Wake Forest University, will reflect on the practical and ethical implications of AI use in teaching and learning. 

By participating in this event, you will be able to: 

• Recognize transformative practices and new approaches to teaching and learning in the classroom and beyond. 
• Implement strategies to promote success and belonging for students, faculty, and all members of the BGSU community. 
• Discover practices that suport a diverse, inclusive community of learners and educators. 
• Discuss the successful implementation of curriculum design, instructional strategies, and assessment practices. 
• Explain how higher education can play a pivotal role in the development of safe and ethically aligned AI. 
• Connect with BGSU colleagues from across campus.
• Identify campus partners and resources that can contribute to your own professional and personal development and support student success and engagement.
