Teaching with Technology in Higher Education. Emerging technologies bring challenging and successful opportunities for faculty members to use in the teaching and learning process. This strand is designed for sharing research-based practices and strategies related to the integration of technology in courses taught in a Face-to-Face, Blended or Online format. Presentations can explore the impact of technology on critical thinking, active learning, and collaboration, as well as measuring the effectiveness of technology tools in teaching.
Program and Course Learning Outcomes. Learning outcomes at the program and course levels have become an integral indicator for assessing curricula in higher education. In the context of evidence-based reporting, learning outcomes present themselves as an inevitable source of data for assessing academic programs and student performance. In this strand, presenters are expected to share, reflect on and generalize from their ongoing research, published papers or field experience in planning, developing and assessing program/course learning outcomes in higher education.
