The 2024 Upper Peninsula Teaching and Learning Conference (UPTLC) will be hosted by Bay College in Escanaba, Michigan, May 13-14, 2024. This year’s theme is Embracing Change: Meeting the Needs of Modern Learners. This theme captures the ongoing challenges wrought by the pandemic, the proliferation of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and increased awareness of the diverse academic and mental health needs of today’s learners. This conference will create a community of educators invested in honing human and technological skills for successful, sustainable teaching and learning. 

The conference includes pre-conference interactive workshops, optional social activities, and a full conference day of concurrent sessions, poster sessions, and “Birds of a Feather” gathering time. We’re excited to share four timely conference tracks:

  • Teaching techniques for online, hybrid, or virtual learning 

  • Teaching and learning in the age of AI 

  • Engaging modern learners 

  • Self-care for college students and/or college employees

The UPTLC is a regional conference focused on the practice and scholarship of teaching and learning in higher education and K-12 education. The UPTLC creates a space for educators to connect, learn, share, and continue growing skills for teaching and learning. We invite educators and educational staff/administration to submit presentation proposals and/ or attend this conference.

5/7 - Registration is now closed; we can’t wait to see you at UPTLC 2024!

"You want me to teach statistics...online?!"  That was my initial reaction when I was asked to teach my first-ever online class.  How was I supposed to make connections with my students, much less engage them in the material?  Since then, I've incorporated many 'small things' into my classes that have allowed me to connect with my students, show them that I care about their success, and engage them as learners. Even though my examples will come from online math classes, they can be utilized in any subject area and in face-to-face classes, too!  This workshop will provide you the opportunity to walk away with some 'small things' that you can incorporate for your students.
