Workshops and Events

Each year we kick off the annual Teaching and Learning Conference with a new theme that ties all of the upcoming year's workshops and events together. The conference offers a broad overview of different ways that topic can be used to continuously improve your course. The subsequent events and workshops throughout the year allow you to take a deeper dive into some of those topics through the use of our sub-themes.

Join hundreds of educators who attend these events throughout the year. This professional development is offered FREE of charge to all instructors, staff, and graduate teaching assistants at NDSU.

Student engagement - the degree to which students actively participate in their learning is essential for creating a dynamic, interactive, and effective learning environment. High student engagement enhances learning, promotes critical thinking, increases academic success, fosters personal development, and boosts motivation—all factors that positively impact student persistence and success at NDSU.
