April 3 Meeting: Engaged Education and Digital Learning at the University of Michigan Duderstadt Center

Join us for our April 3 Chapter Meeting:

Explore new initiatives in engaged education and digital learning in a higher education setting, so as to enable comparisons with your own working environment or corporate training situation. See how the university is evolving and compare these changes with your own university experience from the past.

We introduce another new format for this event! This meeting is being held offsite at the Duderstadt Center, Room 1180, from 4 - 6 pm. The meeting begins with tours and concludes with dinner.

Format:

Short presentations will be followed by tours of Design Lab 1 and 3 within the Digital Media Commons, as well as ISD’s distance learning classrooms and recording studio. We’ll finish the program with dinner and informal discussions of initiatives in higher education and the corporate sector. The facilitators will inspire dinner table conversations in smaller groups.
