The goals of the Teaching and Learning Summit are to:
- To address the overarching question: how does The Ohio State University, as a leading research institution, continuously demonstrate its commitment to, and enhancement of, its teaching and learning mission?
- To serve as an initial discussion of the current status, and issues related to the further development, of the teaching/learning mission, including:
- Identification of best practices and issues
- Provide evidence for how students learn
- Consideration of how to address year-long learning
- To begin to outline a process for, and the central components of, a potential University-level Teaching and Learning Institute.
