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!

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted many, which has resulted in a decrease in academic success. This study intends to contribute to a better understanding of the resources that aid students when academic courses in higher education are transformed from face-to-face to online format. The findings of this study will enhance academic faculty members' understanding of how to handle a pandemic. Students enrolled in AH202: Nutrition for Health Care Professionals completed a voluntary questionnaire in response to Northern Michigan University courses being converted online in winter 2020. Results will provide knowledge and a new perspective from students in higher education.
