The Center for Teaching & Learning and the Teaching and Learning Committee joined together for the 5th Annual Teaching and Learning Conference at Dixie State University, and it was once again successful. The purpose of this conference was to provide an opportunity for DSU faculty and staff to share and learn best practices, innovations, and lessons to promote active teaching and learning on campus.

This year CTL used EventsXD app instead of a printed conference schedule, making it easier for conference attendees to view the schedule in various ways. This is the link to the website, although the app is more user friendly.
