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!

TALK 1: Attendees will get an overview of resources from PBS Learning Media & The Michigan Learning Channel and implementation strategies for use within hybrid learning scenarios such as flipped classrooms or emergency weather closures. All resources are aligned to state standards, accessible through multiple formats, and free to use!

TALK 2:This session will focus on the Course Refresh Process at Calvin University which is designed to ensure that all online courses undergo a quality improvement review and action plan with an Instructional Designer every three years. The Course Refresh process is based on Calvin’s Course Development Rubric and Course Map, both of which were developed utilizing principles from the Quality Matters Higher Education Rubric, Seventh Edition, 2023. The session will highlight the key components of the Course Refresh process including the discovery phase, action plan, regular and substantive feedback from an instructional designer, technical inspection, and stipend disbursement. The session will also highlight how the Course Refresh Process goes beyond expected iterative course improvements and takes a more collaborative approach to up-skill and provide professional development to course authors.
