2008 Welcome
You are invited to participate in the 2008 Oklahoma Higher Education Teaching and Learning Conference. The conference will take place April 10 and 11, 2008 on the beautiful Tahlequah campus of Northeastern State University. Join faculty-scholars who will discuss teaching and learning topics ranging from using technology to cooperative learning. Opportunities to meet and talk to the presenters are provided throughout the conference. Join us as we celebrate innovative educators from Oklahoma Higher Education institutions.
Our theme this year is Teaching 360°. This theme is broad enough to cover topics such as:
• Where does learning take place? - Service Learning, Distance Learning, Mobile Learning, and Classroom Based Learning
• How do we know learning has taken place? - Instructional Design, Effective Teaching and Assessment
• How do we improve teaching? - Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, Professional Development and Issues impacting the professoriate
We are proud to announce our Plenary Speakers for the 2008 conference:
Dr. Ken Bain, Vice Provost for Instruction, Professor of History, Director of the Teaching and Learning Resource Center at Montclair State University and author of the groundbreaking book "What the Best College Teachers Do" will be a featured speaker at the 2008 Oklahoma Higher Education Teaching and Learning Conference.

New This Year!
• Expanded Format
We are expanding the conference from a single day event to two days. This will allow for more meaningful sessions, additional highlighted speakers, poster sessions, more networking time and educational excursions.
• Pre-conference Workshops
We have arranged for the use of classrooms and computer labs for presenters to give 60 minute, 90 minute, or three hour workshops to conference attendees before the conference kicks off. Workshop descriptions and titles will be published in early January.
