 2010
Symposium on Teaching and Learning
On November 18th, 2010, the LTS Office of Faculty
Development and the Lehigh Lab sponsored the 2010 Symposium
on Teaching and Learning. The Symposium was well attended,
bringing together faculty, staff, and graduate students from
across the university.
The purpose of this annual event is to highlight innovations
in teaching and learning at Lehigh and to help connect
instructors to the many forms of instructional support
available to them on campus.
This year’s symposium first offered a “Table Talk” in which
participants strolled around Linderman Library’s Bayer
Galleria and conversed with various LTS staff on topics
including Elluminate, Course Site, E-portfolios (Mahara),
the TRAC Writing Fellows program and Library resources.
The second half of the Symposium featured a "Lightning
Round,” held in Linderman’s Scheler Humanities Forum. At
this event, nine presenters were each allotted 5-10 minutes
to very briefly discuss a teaching-related innovation,
experiment or success that they wanted to share with
colleagues.
The result was a fast-paced event at which
Symposium attendees benefitted from presenters' insightful
observations on a wide range of topics. (For additional
information about the topics discussed by the presenters,

"Lightning Round,”
presenters included Nik Nikolov (Art and Architecture),
Robin Dillon (Philosophy), Brendan Kennelly
(Economics--visiting from National University of Ireland in
Galway), Johanna Brams (LTS-Instructional Multimedia
Resource Center), Hyun-Tae Jung (Art and Architecture), Frank
Gunter (Economics), Silagh White (ArtsLehigh), Lisa Ruebeck
(Student Affairs-Disability Support), and Julia Maserjian (LTS-Digital
Library Specialist).
Faculty or Staff interested in participating in the Fifth
Annual Symposium on Teaching and Learning, to be held in
late Fall 2011, should contact Greg Reihman, Director of
Faculty Development and Director of the Lehigh Lab.
