Full Description:: Peter Felten, Assistant Provost for Teaching and Learning, Executive Director of the Center for Engaged Learning, and Professor of History at Elon University, in the United States presents this public lecture.

Typically academics teach to students. What happens if we approach our work differently, aiming to teach with students? Emerging research suggests that engaging students as partners in university teaching and learning has the potential to enhance, and perhaps even transform, student learning – and also the teaching we do as academics.

This seminar will explore the philosophy and practices of partnership, as well as the research on the topic. The seminar will emphasize the outcomes and the challenges academics can anticipate when they partner with students in learning and teaching.
