TLOS Professional Development Showcase
TLOS Professional Development Showcase
The spring Professional Development Showcase will be held on April 21, 2026, from 12 to 4 p.m. at The Center for the Arts. This event is open to faculty, staff, and graduate students. Register to attend in person. Light refreshments will be provided.
This year, the inaugural TLOS Computer Refresh Plus participants have been working with the Professional Development Network to develop small, focused research projects on three topics: Teaching with AI, Teaching with Instructional Media, and Teaching with Technology. During this casual poster-session event, you’ll get a chance to review these projects and visit with the faculty members who led them. Learn from your colleagues’ best practices and make plans to adopt new teaching tools.
Participants can earn one Professional Development Network (PDN) credit for attending.
