CIC offers the annual Workshops for Department and Division Chairs to strengthen leadership at the departmental level. The workshops are designed to serve both experienced and new chairs of departments or divisions at independent colleges and universities. Campuses are encouraged to send several department or division chairs to the workshop so that they can support one another in instituting change upon return to campus and develop stronger working relationships among institutional chairs.

Forum for chairs to examine the art of departmental administrating through close interaction with colleagues from multiple desciplines and from institutions around the country

Pre-Conference Symposium features content on MOOCS and Open Education around the World.  

The 2013 National Forum on Active Learning Classrooms (NF-ALC) at the University of Minnesota focuses on advancing practice and research on active learning classroom spaces. The NF-ALC will feature new session formats (see the Submission Guidelines) designed to provide opportunities for participants to demonstrate innovative practices and research that leverage the advantages of technology-enhanced learning spaces and active learning pedagogies. Our expectation is that participants from a wide variety of institutions will attend the NF-ALC to a) examine common issues affecting the effective use of these spaces and chart a path for their resolution, b) share successful practices that have enriched the student and faculty experience in active learning classrooms, and c) build and deepen networks with colleagues in order to advance their campus efforts.

Welcome to the 10th annual conference of the International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. The conference will be in Raleigh, North Carolina, on October 2 - 5, 2013, hosted by Elon University's Center for Engaged Learning. In higher education around the world, inquiry into student learning is moving from isolated practice to systematic research, from peripheral projects to institutional integration, from the margins of disciplines and campuses toward a central position in the academy. This conference will focus on these and other transitions in scholarly teaching and the scholarship of teaching and learning.
