Conference Theme: Reimagining assessments: Sparking innovation, equity and impact to promote student learning
Elon University is pleased to welcome university and college educators to the 21st Annual Teaching & Learning Conference on Wednesday, August 13th, 2025. This free, fully-virtual conference is sponsored jointly by Elon’s Center for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning (CATL) and Teaching and Learning Technologies (TLT).
The Call for Proposals is now open!
Join us for a half-day conference that explores the importance of centering students at the heart of our practices. We invite educators from across higher education to dive into how we shape our assessments for, and of, learning to be transformative approaches that prioritize diverse student needs, experiences, and outcomes. The Annual Elon Teaching and Learning Conference invites 50-minute workshops and 20-minute research talks within one of our focused themes within the topic of assessment.
Proposals should be aligned with one of the four subthemes:
- Students-as-partners: How do we invite students to be collaborators throughout the assessment process, through development, feedback, reflection, and redesign? And what does that partnership look like?
- Leveraging technology to enhance learning: How can we thoughtfully use technology to create personalized, scalable, and adaptive assessments? How are we using AI as a tool to support learning?
- Developing authentic and equitable assessments: How do we emphasize the skills of problem-solving, critical thinking, innovation, and collaborations into our classroom assessments in order to prepare students to tackle professional and societal challenges?
- Measuring impact: How do we know when our assessments are successful or how do we know our feedback is supporting student growth? What metrics of impact should we be considering when we are designing and evaluating our own teaching?
We invite proposals for three session types:
- Interactive Workshop: 50-minute evidence-based workshop. These sessions seek to engage attendees in applying, creating, and discussing a specific topic. Proposals must include a detailed outline of activities and how they plan on engaging participants.
- Sharing Pedagogies and Practice: 20-minute presentations highlighting a teaching strategy and its impact, and/or scholarship around teaching and learning. (Note: 5 minutes of questions will be allotted at the end of the 20-minute presentation).
Proposal submissions are now open. The submission deadline has been extended to April 4 at 11:59pm EST, and presenter slots are limited.
